No sound for non-root user


I have created a username for my wife to use.
However, there is no sound for things like a window opening or closing, or a startup sound when KDE starts.
I have found and played a sound file and a cd music disk, so I know my Soundblaster is working. I cannot find a volume control on the KDE desktop.
Anybody know what to do here?

One of the first things I would check is if /dev/dsp (or what its using) is writable by non-root users, then I would look at any sound daemons are started and then i would look at the configs for that.

Soz if its a bit generic, I aint using KDE...
