Having started off just doing everything as root (I know!) i've now created a normal user account for day to day use. however, almost nothing works, LOL!

The most significant of which is I have no audio when im logged in as a standard user (created using the 'adduser -d /home/ldj/ ldj' command, but i do when im logged in as root.

what do i need to do to 'enable' audio? im guessing as audio works as root its a permissions issue?
When i run xmms from a terminal i get the error:

** WARNING **: oss_open(): Failed to open audio device (/dev/dsp): No such file or directory


If anyone can shed some light on this blighter it would be appreciated.

Thanks

Add yourself to the "audio" group. You probably also want to be part of groups like video, cdrom, etc.

Thanks, done that to those three groups but it is still giving the same error.
Tried rebooting to see if it helps but no joy
