Description of problem: added alsa compatible soundcard, and had it up and running. now, every time I log in as anything other than root, I get: error while initializing sound driver: device: default can't be opened for playback (permission denied) The sound server will continue, using the null output device when I use administration-soundcard detection, I get sound. But, it won't work outside that app. unless I login as root Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info: The only thing I did prior to the sound failure was, to login as root in an attempt to mount my main hard drive. (Windows fat32, I have a dual boot setup) By the way, I also get "permission denied" every time I attempt this, even as root. I cannot find any config settings for either of these permissions. please advise.
Please log-in as a common user and attach output of "ls -l /dev/snd/"
Created attachment 132185 [details] output from "ls -l /dev/snd/" I found a fix in the question & answers of the aRts Handbook, but I'd still appreciate any other advice you can give me. Thanks. BTW do you know anything about the "permission denied" when I try to mount the windows drive? Could it be because I enabled SELinux when I installed it?
All files here (/dev/snd/) look fine...
