Sound only as root with SBLive....tried permissions

[trilarian]

I get sound as root, but not as a user. I know the classic solution is to change permissions of /dev/dsp and /dev/mixer. Did that to all of them, logged out and back in and still no luck. Username is trilarian and the permissions are set as:

trilarian@debian:/dev$ ls -l dsp*
crw-rw---- 1 trilarian audio 14, 3 Mar 14 2002 dsp
crw-rw---- 1 trilarian audio 14, 19 Mar 14 2002 dsp1
crw-rw---- 1 trilarian audio 14, 35 Mar 14 2002 dsp2
crw-rw---- 1 trilarian audio 14, 51 Mar 14 2002 dsp3
trilarian@debian:/dev$

Its the same for /dev/mixer. Not sure why it won't work. Ideas?

wheel is usually for su on gentoo. and if you actually looked up there you see that the needed group is audio

useradd <user> <group>
