ET sound problem

[phobik]

if i run et as root i dont get any problems, but as a normal user i dont get any sound.
im using slackkware 9.1, the sound is fine otherwise, can play cd,mp3.systemsounds etc etc just no sound in et :(
anybody know how i can fix this please?

cheers

chmod 666 /dev/dsp resolved it for me

Change the permissions back to 0660 on /dev/dsp. Making them 0666 means that anyone can play stuff through your speakers, but not only that, they can hear what's going on around your microphone. (if you have one, that is.)

If you ls -l /dev/dsp, you'll see which group it's owned by. Add your username to that group (on my system, it's called "audio").
