I concur with you mail. I run 8.2 with kde 3.2.3 and have not tweaked my sound installation since installation. I also have the devices in /dev/snd/ set as 666 permission and sound works for all users that are logged in and that includes those logged in through xdmcp remotely although this can be annoying since the sound comes out at the PC where I am working. In suse 8.2 I did not need to change any permissions!! Andrew On Tuesday 29 June 2004 05:50, dh wrote:

Ahh... I'll just have to live with one-user-sound for now. It's not such a big problem, since I only have two users. In the future however I'll try to fix it. I need to do some school work now and then I'll see what I can do :)
I haven't really been following this thread but since there hasn't been a solution heres my 2 cents.
I've got a soundblaster live running on suse 9.1 with multiple users logged in.
Some or all of the following may or may not apply. All users are part of the audio group
What really did the trick (I believe) was changing permissions in the /dev/snd directory. All of the devices in this directory are now rw-rw-rw- and owned by the first user to login and the root group. I know when I made this change I had to change some boot script to do the change automatically on reboot (the changes to permissions, not owner or group) but I don't remember which script I changed.
There may be security issues w/ my method but if there are I'm sure someone will pipe up.
Hope this is useful Good luck --
