Hmm. sounds to me like a permissions problem. Don't know if install from
kde source would help or hurt.
Since things work for root, its not a control problem, eh?
So, if you want to check permisisons on /dev/dsp (and whatever it points to)
No, better: do this:
ls -l /dev|egrep audio
and save it to a file (i.e. do above '> a.file'), upgrade (again, sorry!)
and then check to see what permisisons are different. Also, check with
/etc/fstab before and after the upgrades to see what has changed there,
because I bet there's a user allow option turned off after the upgrade
(shoot, to be paranoid save all of /etc/ somewhere just before you upgrade ;-)
Maybe that will isolate the changes for you, so you can change them back...
rc
(now, if I could just get 8.1 to install on my laptop! :-)
(ps#2 - sometime soon I'm going to post a summary of my very recent experiences
with WD hard disk drives!)
