If I remember correctly, running alsamixer - allows you select certain cards, ESC exits alsactl store - would write the setting to a file, under user it would be ~/.asoundrc (I could be wrong). But in my case "alsactl store" doesn't do anything, It opens "master" setting single bar setting. Next time I would open "alsamixer" it would open on the last card I was viewing. I was long line since I played with these setting, so I could be wrong. I'm using XFCE but did not emerge any special packages for sound control.

I'm sure you have an answer that says this, but this message says it all, though maybe a bit obscurely... The directory `/run/user/1000` is not owned by the user ID `(uid 0)` but by `uid 1000`. You are running the command as uid 0, or root. Which you acknowledge you're doing. It says the important thing at the end `Don't do that.`. You need to run it as the user who is logged in to X (or Wayland). > Does dir: /run/user/1000 > should be own by "root:root" or user on the system? This is a temporary directory which is created on login (I believe that's when it gets created). Don't change the ownership of it. The problem is the user you are running the command as, isn't correct. > When I run: > chown root:root /run/user/1000 > > alsamixer > ALSA lib > /var/tmp/portage/media-plugins/alsa-plugins-1.2.7.1-r1/work/alsa-plugins-1.2.7.1/pulse/pulse.c:242:(pulse_connect) > PulseAudio: Unable to connect: Access denied Probably because your user 1000 is trying to access something that only root can access. But it's not entirely clear. The changing ownership of /run/user/1000 to root, will break *lots* of things.

[gentoo-user] alsamixer - no sound
After recent upgrade I have no sound. Running as root: alsamixer XDG_RUNTIME_DIR (/run/user/1000) is not owned by us (uid 0), but by uid 1000! (This could e.g. happen if you try to connect to a non-root PulseAudio as a root user, over the native protocol. Don't do that.) Does dir: /run/user/1000 should be own by "root:root" or user on the system? When I run: chown root:root /run/user/1000 alsamixer ALSA lib /var/tmp/portage/media-plugins/alsa-plugins-1.2.7.1-r1/work/alsa-plugins-1.2.7.1/pulse/pulse.c:242:(pulse_connect) PulseAudio: Unable to connect: Access denied cannot open mixer: Connection refused -- Thelma
