Re: [SOLVED] Sound isnt working properly
I checked /etc/group on my laptop (freshly installed debian system) and it was read/write to root , read to group/others. MY /etc/group was read/write to root, forbidden to group/others. Yes, the backup-copy (group-) is read/write to root, forbidden to group/others. I am sure it was like that. Beside that it started working after that correction.

Ok, found the problem - kind of. 1. /etc/group was *READ*/write only to root. group/other were totally forbidden.

I guess so? Since as I wriote in my first mail, kde is able to output sound - I hear the kde jingle when you log in (the screen ends botting) and vlc can play some files. dunno why or how. That's a clue that aRts has taken over your card. Try a native KDE audio player. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
