    sound only works in my account and not others

    Subject says it all. I have sound but other users do not. try to play amarok in other accounts and get:
    xine was unable to initialize any audio drivers.

    WTF?
    I tried Enlightenment once, it was pretty cool.

    make the other users be members of the audio group.

    open a konsole while logged in your personal user account.
    enter the following command:
    Code:
    id
    you'll see:
    - uid=: this is your user id (name)
    - gid=: this is your primary group id (name)
    - groups=: this is the list of secondary groups you're member of

    then log in the other user account and check them.

    or use the users' management gui in system settings.
    that might be easier...

    cheers
