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,
