Sound works only when I am running as root.
 

I am running Slackware 9.1, with a Sound Blaster live!. I ran "alsaconf" and successfully configured my sound card. I then ran "alsactl store", and the logged on as root. My sound worked fine. I then logged in as "user", and I had no sound. I then logged in as root again, and I still had no sound. I rebooted, tried the whole ordeal again with the same results.
Thanks,

Try as root
# adduser <username> audio

edit rc.modules

find and uncomment
modprobe emu10k1

try it

Just read your post again.

First, as user, run ->
$ alsamixer
and unmute all the channels with the M key of you keyboard,
turning the volume levels up appropriately.

Then, as root, run ->
# alsactl store
to save them so they'll be set after you logout or reboot.

Sorry, I forgot to mention that I got it working along time ago.

Why don't you post how you got it working, so if someone else
searches and reads your thread they'll know what you did. ;)

Well, I needed a larger partition on my harddrive, so I re-installed. I then did exactly what I did the first time, and it worked.
