Under openrc, the regular user will get the same contents using amixer get Master as root, whereas under systemd he will not. I was told to take the user out of the audio group some time ago and so I did, with no result I know of, maybe I will put it back and see if it makes any changes. -- Your life is like a penny.

[gentoo-user] systemd and amixer
Hi. Since I booted into systemd, if I try to run amixer from a normal user I get very different results than if I run amixer as root. The directory /dev/snd is world rw and I would like to know what is happening. The numbers are very different for instance the Master volume as a regular user is 100%, but as root its 40% where it should be. Thanks in advance for any suggestions. -- Your life is like a penny.
