Might you need to add video and maybe audio groups to your set of groups?
What do you get from
id $USER
or
groups
or, to see who else you share groups with
grep $USER /etc/groups
for adding groups to those you already have, I think check the -aG option
info usermod
I don't dare suggest the actual command for your system, so
you're on your own. If you have the sudo group, id $USER should show it,
and that's probably easier. If you go into root, you don't want
to add video,audio to root, so IIRC the options are a little different
to make sure you as $USER get the added groups, not root.
(BTW, try typing "id root" ;)
