I had this one stump me for a bit you have to add the users to the
"audio" group and they can play sound. I found that after reading a few
howtos and searching on google.

If your linux box is running kernel 2.4.X, well probably you don't need alsa

Just do:
linux#modconf
Turns out the necessary modules are already loaded. Apparantly it is a
permission problem. The root user can play sound. Normal user is not
capable and is denied access to the sound device. I checked the
permissions on various sound devices and they are the same as those on a
machine where it does work!
Does anybody know why root can use sound and normal user not?
