I have: -------------------------------------------------------------- # ALSA stuff #LOOKUP snd MODLOAD ACTION snd -------------------------------------------------------------- Note that the second line is commented out and according to the ALSA INSTALL file the entries for ALSA should read: -------------------------------------------------------------- LOOKUP snd MODLOAD ACTION snd REGISTER sound/.* PERMISSIONS root.audio 660 REGISTER snd/.* PERMISSIONS root.audio 660 -------------------------------------------------------------- I think this may help your 'alsa resetting its own permissions' problem :) Note the warning in the INSTALL file: Warning: These lines assume that you have the audio group in your system. Otherwise replace audio word with another group name (root for example). I think you have to reboot for the changes to take effect. Oh, and I wonder if it may even help gnome sound. HTH, -Frans
