Check your audio devices and make sure you either own them or have permission to use them. All the ones I can think of right off hand are: [s@tuxmachine s]$ ls -hal /dev/audio lrwxrwxrwx 1 root audio 6 Sep 19 09:49 /dev/audio -> audio0 [s@tuxmachine s]$ ls -hal /dev/dsp crw------- 1 s audio 14, 3 Apr 14 07:06 /dev/dsp [s@tuxmachine s]$ ls -hal /dev/sequencer crw------- 1 s audio 14, 1 Apr 14 07:06 /dev/sequencer [s@tuxmachine s]$ ls -al /dev/mixer crw------- 1 s audio 14, 0 Apr 14 07:06 /dev/mixer Check your see if they are similar. If not, change it. If they are, then we'll need more help. :-) Also, it couldn't hurt to open up userdrake as root and put cdrom, games, floppy, audio, and whatever in your group. -s
