Hello, Recently I've been having problems with the ownership/permissions of the /dev/<sound devices>. I'm not sure how and when it started happening.
The devices take on the ownership of who logs on; eg if I log on, the devices are setup as, for example, crw-------- 1 dave audio 14, 3 ... /dev/dsp0 For me thats ok. If I subsequently logoff, and my son logs on, they change ownership to his logon. Where this is particularly a pain is when I logon as 'root' to start X & Gnome via gdm and logon that way, then the devices are set to crw-------- 1 root audio 14, 3 ... /dev/dsp0 ..and no sound comes out for anyone, 'cos no-ones got permission for the devices. However I manually change the permission setup (eg setting rw for the 'audio' group, to which every logon is assigned), they always get reset to owner-only rw permission next boot-up. This is Alsa 0.9rc6 on Mandrake 9. Any help?
