On a plain debian install I can use commands like "play /path/to/some/audio.ogg" or equivalents with aplay. On debian edu workstation audio works fine as normal user, but as root doesn't work, with the following error: --------------------------------------- No protocol specified xcb_connection_has_error() returned true No protocol specified xcb_connection_has_error() returned true ALSA lib pulse.c:243:(pulse_connect) PulseAudio: Unable to connect: Connection refused play FAIL sox: Sorry, there is no default audio device configured ----------------------------------------- using "play" as normal user works Any idea? Regards Giorgio P.S: I really need to play sound as root to setup school bell.
