Sound as Root, No Sound as User

Hi,
I'm a newbie, but managed to get my sound working as root, but not
when I use a user account. The CD Player in Gnome works fine if I log
in as root, but when I log on as a user, it says that there is a "drive
error", but if I su into root and "cdcontrol -f /dev/acd0 play 1" I can
play a CD. I'm assuming that this is a permission issue but can't find
any mention of it in either the Handbook or the Internet. The user
account is in the wheel group.
I am running FreeBSD 5.4. Any suggestions, comments or advice would
be appreciated.
Thanks,
Lawrence
