On (at least) Ubuntu the login process (both lightdm and console) modifies the access rights to /dev/snd/* so that the sound devices accept sound streams with user permissions.
But this does not work with dtlogin When you login with dtlogin the sound devices do not get user rights. So the sound does not work for the user. If now the command sudo setfacl -m "u:user:rw-" /dev/snd/* (1) is executed then the problem gets fixed and the user has access to the sound system. Can this be fixed somehow? Because it can not be executed by the user startup scripts since it must be run with root privileges. More than that this is not the proper way to do it. Because when you switch to console for another user login the sound devices must stop have the rights of the GUI logged in user and get the rights of the console user login. I guess lightdm does that automatically (chvt triggers the change of permissions-I guess). So can this be fixed somehow? At least, change the permissions to the next dtlogin user. Because if I execute (1) and then logout, and another user logs in then the permissions must change by another issue of (1). We have the same situation with the video devices. Unless you execute sudo setfacl -m "u:user:rw-" /dev/video* you do not get access to video (so eg skype does not work for video calls).
