The error described, typically means that upon login the audio devices were not reassigned to the user. If you do an ls -l /dev and ls -l /dev/snd, the owner should be the logged in user. I know Entrance does not properly re-assign the ownership. The other possibility is the user is not in the audio group of /etc/group Bob - -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
