First of all, how are you logging in (console, xdm, ssh)? Second, what is the output of the following?
grep sound /etc/security/console.perms I've noticed that when I ssh into my machine, the sound devices all have similar permissions to what you are seeing. (Don't ask why I'm concerned about sound when I'm ssh'ed in -- long story) I've also noticed that the "audio" group is not even created by the installation. Perhaps this is an installer bug/oversight?

I have this in modules.conf: # alias sound-slot-0 audigy # ALSA native device support alias char-major-116 snd options snd snd_major=116 snd_cards_limit=1 alias snd-card-0 snd-emu10k1 # OSS/Free setup alias char-major-14 soundcore alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss # End of ALSA stuff BTW, I have no permission problems if I use the oss audigy driver instead of ALSA Cheers, Andreas ---- End Original Message ---- ************************************************ Free Game Guides!
