Ok here is the problem: After installing KDE, which i have since removed, my audio permissions are shot. I can change them as root but they get changed every time my computer gets restarted. I have to manually reset them each time i boot into gentoo. Any suggestions on how i can fix this permanently through one of the config files??

You can either add yourself to the group audio *proper*, or you could chmod /dev/dsp and /dev/mixer *dirty* :)
