I just recently compiled kde 3.2.1 using konstruct, and it seemed to go without any major issues that i couldn't clear up.

A problem however. For some reason, i am unable to access the audio device (/dev/dsp) as a regular user. This means that i cant play any music, sound or audio. I can however gain audio output logged in as root.

I have a temporary, albiet very very bad solution to it. Everytime that i log in, i need to change the permissions of /dev/dsp as follows:

[code:1]
[seb@localhost seb]$ su
Password:
[root@localhost seb]# chmod 777 /dev/dsp
[root@localhost seb]#
[/code:1]

I really dont like doing this and dont feel that i need to. How can i restore audio access to the regular user??

Much appreciated,
Seb

I have placed all of the users within the audio group...

are you saying that /dev/dsp should be owned by the group 'audio' ??
