Not sure what you mean by "Alsa can't find the card", but I'm going to assume you mean alsamixer. If I'm wrong, correct me. You boot to runlevel 3 and then use 'startx', don't you? There is a bug in the text mode login. Either use the graphical login, or do a chown on /dev/snd/* and /dev/dsp

What is that bug? I am using runlevel 3 and startx on IBM ThinkPad T21 and have no problems with sound in 9.2. Sound card is IBM CS 4614/22/24 CrystalClear SoundFusion Audio Accelerator. Actually, there was a problem. I had to recompile ogle because it was spitting out alsa-related errors, but that was the only one. XMMS runs out of the box. No issues with ownership/permissions so far. Regards, -Kastus

I've seen a number of complaints about mixer problems and they have all been related to permissions on the device files. So far, in all cases that I've seen, the people with the problems have booted to runlevel 3 and started X with 'startx'. In at least one case, the problem went away after logging in through a display manager instead. As far as I can see, the thing is that /etc/pam.d/xdm uses pam_devperm, which makes sure that the devices listed in /etc/logindevperm gets owned by the user who logs in. /etc/pam.d/login doesn't do that, so the devices stays owned by root. I would have expected resmgr to be involved in this somehow, but something seems to have changed with respect to resmgr in 9.2 that I haven't quite worked out yet Why it works for you I can't say.

Maybe I could make a semi-educated guess at why it works for you: your user is a member of the group 'audio', isn't it? It just occurred to me that the default is for group audio to have read/write permissions

That's correct, my account is a memeber of audio group, so no mystery left Thanks, -Kastus

No.....correct. I just did a "recheck," and logged in as root and KDE, Gamix works fine.......it's ONLY as a user.

'Saright.

Ok.......lemme try that................ Thanks, Anders!! Once again, you've come "to the rescue!" I had no idea of that bug and simply ran out of ideas. Thanks again!

I,ve installed 9.1 on a Dell 620 (cs46xx)and the sound would only come out of the right channel Until I did "alsaconfig" from the command line. On Wednesday 24 November 2004 14:47, Jostein Berntsen wrote:

Alsaconfig wouldn't work because of the permissions problem. Fred -- "Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote." - Benjamin Franklin 1759

I think, you might consider adding your account to "audio" group. All sound devices have group write permission. Regards, -Kastus

I would, but I already changed the permissions. :) Fred -- "Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote." - Benjamin Franklin 1759
After installing SuSE 9.2 on a machine, all foreign characters in file names is displayed as "?". Changing the Language and keyboard setup (in yast) changes nothing. The characters are displayed correctly, when typed in the shell, buf if I create a file/dir with touch/mkdir, the resulting file/dir is displayed with all the foreign characters replaced by "?". I use the default kernel. Any suggestions Thanks in advance Bo

the same sometimes happens here . . . the greek character set is ISO 8859-7 maybe, one needs to chose Character Set for main applications used : Mail Client, Text Editor, Web Browser chosing the character set UTF 8 will probably fix it ? best wishes ____________

This is shell commands (touch, mkdir etc.). Bo

Problem solved. I just had to unmark the "Use the UTF-8 encoding" in yast language details !?. Bo
