Since you can play audio cd when you are root implies that it is a
permissions problem. I would check the permissions on your audio playback
software. Make sure users have permissions 755. Maybe somehow the
permissions got messed up. Other than that I don't know what to tell you.
Maybe someone else can suggest a solution.
