Try this.. it's something I had to do when I had no sound coming from
my FM801 card after installing ALSA. I don't know if you're using DevFS or
not.. if so, take a look at the permissions on the devices in the /dev/sound
directory. you'll see that initially, they're only readable by root. You may
need to do a chmod a+w on every device in that directory, to have a user be
able to write to dsp, midi, etc. etc. in it, so they can write to the output
device. that way, the user gets to write to it, and basically, get your sound.
Tread weary with this though, as doing this gives the user the ability to
delete the device.
