Thanks, Erik B. Andersen Hi, Thank you for bringing this to our attention. This issue has been annoying me for a while now as well, so I'm glad that the issue is understood. As the first user is no longer part of the audio group, it makes sense that we don't add subsequent users to the audio group too, so I will do the gnome-system-tools change to fix this this today. Thanks!

Are you planning on making the change for both the desktop and administrator users? (I think you should) Thanks, Erik B.
