[SOLVED] XMMS works for root but not for user

I checked and verified I belong to the "audio" group.

But command "xmms"=
Code:
Message: device: default

Any help would be appreciated as I prefer XMMS to SMPlayer, the equalizer of which won't work on my system.

How did you install it? Did you try uninstalling and reinstalling?

XMMS works for root but not for user-- replaced with Audacious

To install XMMS, I added its repository to sources.list and used apt. Yes, I uninstalled and reinstalled it several times, resulting in same problem. Anyway, it's OK now as I uninstalled XMMS and installed Audacious and now I'm a happy listener. Thanks.
