please check the permission of device files under /dev/snd directory. the snddevices script creates the devices with the owner root.audio (if such a group exists - if not, root.root is used). this might be different on your system. i hope this problem won't happen in future once after the major distributions create such device files as default, and takes the permission controls via pam. > Can someone let me know what is wrong or has support for the old dev > system been dropped now? because it is an ugly style and devfs can do the same thing even better...
