Look at that line of the output you posted: # ls -l /dev/dsp crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 3 2005-04-29 23:21 /dev/dsp You don't see the audio group ownership? Of course that group exists on your system. Just see /etc/group ... All you need to do is add your regular user account to that group, e.g. via useradd -G -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
