David,
Depending on which distro you ar using, check that the user is included in the 'audio'
group. The sound card will only be available to those people who have permission to
access it, and it sounds like your user may not have permission.
On Debian check out 'addgroup'
Other distro's might use 'groupadd' (Or is it the other way around??)
Otherwise if you use Linux conf check your users gropu memberships there.

Hi all,
Compiled a new kernel during the week (2.2.19) - even getting my USB keyboard and
mouse working (hey, for me that is an achievement ;)
Everything is working fine, except for the sound. The es1371 module is being loaded on
startup, and works fine when I log in as root, but I can't seem to get sound working
for any other user (there are two user accounts, and its only used as a workstation -
no internet connection).
Starting xmms while logged in as a user returns an error along the lines of "Check
soundcard is configured properly, etc" - but there are no problems with this as root.
Any ideas what could be causing this?
Cheers
Dave
