I have set up a number of user accounts on a standalone NT 4.0 Workstation.
Whenever I run an application requiring sound using any account except for
the Administrator, I get a dialog window saying...

Sound not available
-----------------------------
The sound hardware is in use by another app
Select Retry to start sound again or ...

Retry   Cancel


I have no problem at all running app's in the Administrator account which
require sound.  The sharing problem does not seem to be related to a single
"app" because from the Administrator account I can run a number of different
app's requiring sound, all without problem.

What is the reason for this?

TIA
