Greetings /etc/udev/rules.d/40-alsa.rules in:- from (http://lfs.aliensoft.org/blfs/view/svn/multimedia/alsa-utils.html ) : # When a sound device is detected, restore the volume settings KERNEL=="controlC[0-9]*", ACTION=="add", RUN+="/usr/sbin/alsactl restore %n"
With the latter, on a cblfs setup with kde-4.4.5 sound devices are detected correctly as per (http://pulseaudio.org/wiki/KDE for example) and shows that phonon and pulse are correctly talking. BUT this is available only to the group root. If the /etc/udev/rules.d/40-alsa.rules is amended so that sound devices are accessible to users in the group audio (for example) like so:- -------------------------------------------------------------------- # ALSA Devices SUBSYSTEM=="snd", GROUP="audio" # When a sound device is detected, restore the volume settings KERNEL=="controlC[0-9]*", NAME="snd/%k", GROUP="audio", ACTION=="add", RUN+="/usr/sbin/alsactl restore %n" KERNEL=="hw[CD0-9]*", NAME="snd/%k", GROUP="audio" KERNEL=="pcm[CD0-9cp]*", NAME="snd/%k", GROUP="audio" KERNEL=="midiC[D0-9]*", NAME="snd/%k", GROUP="audio" KERNEL=="timer", NAME="snd/%k", GROUP="audio" KERNEL=="seq", NAME="snd/%k", GROUP="audio" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ a dummy device in KDE results.
