Dennis,

Exactly how do I add myself to the audio group? I feel rather embarrased that I have to ask this question after using UNIX for three years but I never had to admin stuff like this at school. I also fear that you are correct about this problem. When I run KDE as root, it works fine.

What information does "ls -l /dev/dsp*" give you?

As Micheal said, check the permissions on /dev/dsp. It should be
writable for the audio group. Also, make sure your user account is a
member of that group.

Dennis
