36 I have never bee able to get the sound working right in KDE for my
37 normal user account. I know it has to be permissions related somehow,
38 since it seems to work for root. I've got the same permissons you do
39 in /dev/sound, and my user account is also in the wheel group. I
40 wonder if it matters what your "primary" group is, as mine is (or was)
41 NOT wheel.
