Trying to have some fun with fbgetty but it doesn't work

I am trying to have a little fun with fbgetty. I want it to play a beep sound
whenever I switch to a new tty that has a login prompt. However, I keep getting
permission denied errors on /dev/dsp or connect failures in alsa instead of
beeps. I tried 'ps aux |grep fbgetty' and it says it is running as root. I
tried putting `whoami` in /etc/issue and that tells me it is runing as fbgetty.
But when I add fbgetty to the audio group, I still get the same errors. The
only thing I have been able to do to get the beeps to play is to
chmod 666 /dev/dsp
which I would rather avoid if possible. What other things could I try to get
fbgetty to play a beep. I actually have a blind friend who would greatly benefit
from such a beep, and it really would be a lot of fun on my own machine as well.
Thanks for any help,
PRINCE
