I'm having the same problem as Steve and I don't have a devfsd.conf file on my system.<BR>
<BR>
Any other ideas anyone?<BR>

Sounds like you may be using devfs, in which case you will need to edit your
/etc/devfsd.conf file. I have the lines:
REGISTER ^sound/* PERMISSIONS root.audio 0770
REGISTER snd/.* PERMISSIONS root.audio 0770
in mine, something like that should work, assuming you also use ALSA.
Hope this helps,</I></FONT></PRE>
