------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-04-09 19:15 ------- I have the same problem. If the first thing I do is to log in as some user this user can play sound allright (but the sound is muted after each boot, I have to turn up with aumix each time (yes I DO save my settings and my .aumixrc looks ok)). If I log out and log in as any other user this user can't play sound or use the mixer. If I try to log back in with the first user the sound doesn't return. I am loged in as first user now and my /dev/dsp also looks like lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 9 Sep 4 17:22 /dev/dsp -> sound/dsp -- Configure bugmail: http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: UNCONFIRMED creation_date: description: After booting, if I login as non-root user, then I can play sound just fine since /dev/dsp allows write access. However, if after boot, I login as root from the console, logout and then login as non-root user, I can't even start aumix since permission to open /dev/dsp is denied. lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 9 Aug 30 17:51 /dev/dsp -> sound/dsp To fix this, I ran as root "/etc/rc.d/init.d/sound stop" which did not unload the sound driver !? I had to run "modprobe -vr" to unload the sound modules and then run "/etc/rc.d/init.d/sound start" to reload them. Thereafter, non-root user could run aumix and play sound. However, the permissions of /dev/dsp remained the same. So what is preventing a non-root user from accessing /dev/dsp ?
