1.I need to add a user, but when I do, they cannot access the sound card. I think it is permissions, but where do I start?
As root, "adduser <username> audio". Log that user out/in.
2. I created a user, but SUDO seems to only work from ROOT and not from my user.As root, "visudo"; add that user into the file with the appropriate privs. (I generally just duplicate the root line for my user, which is a little weak security-wise, but works as a security/ease-of-use compromise for me.)
Depends on how you're starting X, and whether you want this the default for all users or just specific users.3. How can I close down Gnome and start up KDE?
Probably, you can, as root, "dpkg-reconfigure kdm", and select KDM rather than GDM as your login manager. (This makes lots of assumptions about your setup, so this may very well not work.)
