Hi
Normally, when you start X and login, the system should chown the mixer
devices for you. For some reason it doesn't.
A workaround is to log on as root, then type the following instructions:
cd /dev
chown user:user -R audio mixer snd adsp amidi dmmidi dsp midi
And then login as the user.
Replace user with your username
