Sound problem with Dapper Drake 6.0.6

[mirax]

Hey, I'm pretty new to linux and have been trying to figure my way out and around.  Things have been going pretty smoothly and I'm ready to ditch windows all together except for one small problem.  When I first installed my sound worked fine, but then when I went to play some of my mp3's the first one played fine till about halfway through it and then it all of the sudden it stopped working.  Whenever I open up Beep Media Player it tells me something else has locked my soundcard.  I've done a few tests from different sources that I have found to check out my sound card.  I really don't know what any of it means except on lspci -v it tells me that the sound card is available only to root. 

So, the question I have is how do I make it available to all users, and if there is another problem how do I fix that?

lspci -v
