Thats one way of fixing it, but there is a better way (I believe that the
above needs to be done on every reboot which is a pain).

On my machine:

    erikd at coltrane > ls /dev/dsp
    crw-rw----    1 root     audio     14,   3 Aug 10  2001 /dev/dsp

Notice that the device allows rw access by the audio group. Therefore,
all you need to do, is for each user on the system who is allowed to
access these devices, as root:

    adduser <username> audio

Cheers,
Erik

This is Linux country.  On a quiet night, you can hear NT re-boot.
