Hello.
As i was setting up my desktop using the Desktop Config doc, i could not get the sound to work properly. It works for some of the time (mostly as root). i followed the instructions on how to get sound (under the section "Standard Kernel Sound Modules") and this is what i got as a message.

root@localhost akhkharu # cd /dev/
root@localhost dev # /usr/sbin/MAKEDEV audio

does anyone know why this would happen?
i think it is because of this that i cannot get mplayer to work with sound when i am not logged in as root.
oh, and my sound card is compiled into my kernel. it is CMI8738.

The MAKEDEV script is trying to make device nodes for your soundcard. First, you can't do this unless you're root, and second, you don't want to do this if you're using devfs (which you are).

Make sure your normal user is in the audio group.

thank you for the help.
for some reason, it appears to be a problem with mplayer. now, audio works for users for everything, but no audio for root in mplayer. not a big deal, tho, since i don't log into a wm as root very often.
again, thanks for the help
