Debian installations (via a system called udev) control access to devices via groups. You can read more about it by looking at the docs in /usr/share/doc/udev/. You can see the permission groups by reading /etc/udev/permissions.d/udev.permissions. In a terminal (as the desktop user, not root), list the groups the user belongs to with the 'groups' command. If 'audio' does not appear in the list, try (as root) 'addgroup <username> audio', replacing <username> with your login name. This might make to sound function (you can test this by opening a new terminal and running the aumix command). You may have to logout of the desktop before the changes take effect. Don Kelly/
