Or at least I think it's a permissions issue. A user on my PC is unable to
use anything that requires sound; every time he does, a box pops up that
says:

Couldn't open audio

Please check that:
1 you have the correct output plugin selected
2 no other programs is (heh...silly) blocking the soundcard
3 your soundcard is configured properly

But, while I was trying to get it to work in his profile, I opened a
terminal window, brought up XMMS as root, and it worked fine, which is why
I think its a permissions problem.

One further note - that grandiose music that playes when KDE opens takes
way longer for this user than it does when I'm logged in as user, and you
hear this click after it finishes, and you again hear the click for the
shutdown tune...

So, what do I change permissions for? This permissions thing is still
really new to me so as much detail as possible would be great...

Thanks!


peace,

Rog
