Been trying to get "sound" to work on my box.

Finally gave up on an old full length, 16-bit SB card, and pulled out a
16-bit PnP SB that I had working in a previous box. Recompiled kernel.

Log in under my username, go into Xwindows/Gnome/Starfish. No sound. Xmms
won't play, no tinks/gongs/whistles. Nada.

Go off to something else, come back, log in this time as root, go into
Xwindows, and I got sound coming out the wazoo.

I checked the preferences, and sound effects are ON for the 'normal' user.
Any ideas?
