Hi
As previously suggested, this is more a question for debian-user mailing list
than the whole Debian Project.

If you set up a normal non-root user and give them sudo privileges, you do
not _need_ root login inside a GUI.
As others have suggested, this is a significant security problem if you wish
to run a graphical environment as root.

*Which* sound care? What does the output from dmesg say if run by root -
can you then check to find the sound device in the output?

Then the desktop is potentially working as designed.

I think you may find similar problems with any of the Debian derivatives which
all tend to work the same way. Likewise Fedora and the Red Hat derivatives -
all discourage calling a GUI as the root user.
