xmms works from terminal as root but not as user
 
when i type xmms from terminal as root it pops right up if i do that as a normal user it doesn't really do anything. how do i solve this? also some programs in my Applications menu don't work. i bet they work as root though if i type them in the terminal. I am using dropline gnome by the way.

what do you mean?? does it just drop you back to the command-line without any error message??

yeah, that's exactly what it does, no errors or anything.

Check if your user is in group "audio" with the `id` command.

Code:
uid=1000(dachy) gid=100(users) groups=100(users),4(adm),11(floppy),17(audio),19(cdrom),93(scanner)
