Sound only works as root
 
I'm trying to get sound to work as a regular user. I have created an audio group and added myself. I have also given group ownership of /dev/audio, /dev/dsp*, and /dev/mixer* to the audio group. It still doesn't work. Am I missing something? Logged in as root, the sound works fine.

Chmod 666 /dev/dsp /dev/mixer /dev/sequencer

bust out one of these:

chmod 666 /dev/dsp*;chmod 666 /dev/mixer*

not as elegant a solution as creating an audio group and adding yourself, but i think that this saves time and energy.
