xmms volume problem if run as user
 

I have a problem with xmms. If i run it as user then i can't change the volume(the volume is always on 100%) but if i run it as root then I can change the volume. What could be the problem?

I'm just guessing, but I had a similar problem. When I ran XMMS as a user the volume was at zero.
Then I ran it from the console and tried to change the volume. And it wrote that I don't have the permission for /dev/mixer. I just added my user to the audio group (the mixer file was owned by this group) and it worked correctly. You might have the same problem.
Just run XMMS from the console( xmms& , it should be in your path), and try to drag the volume bar, and you should get an error msg in the console.

The problem was in /dev/mixer premission. ty
