Try "adduser <username> audio". This adds you to the group of users who 
are allowed to use audio devices (like /dev/dsp).
  If you want to know, to which group you have to add your user-account 
start the program from the console (or Konsole in KDE). Normally they 
will abort with a message like "Cannot open sound device: /dev/dsp" or 
similiar. Then you can look at the access rights with "ls -l 
/dev/<device>".
