Hello all
Resending this with a different subject line, first time got no response. I can't get sound output as a regular user, but I can as root.
I have a very funny sound problem. If I log in as root I have no problems with sound, If I log in as any other user I can not hear mp3 files, audio CD's or video DVD's. It was working fine until I updated something or installed a new package. Can not trace back to the moment it started.
I am using Suse 10

If I log into root's deskotp, sound works without a problem. If I log in to any other users desktop there is no sound. If I log into a non root users' desktop and then in a console log in as root and try to play a sound file I get no sound. I am asking for help since I have no clue as to how to approach the problem. I really don't even know how to google for this one, I've tried without success.
I don't have gnome desktop installed, but in Icewm and FVWM desktops there is also no sound output, so I do not thik it is a function of a kde problem itself. but this is a list of KDE packages related to sound that I am using Any ideas on how to proceed to fix it? Thanks in advance, Gustav Degreef
I read your original post but had no answer to your problem. Still don't. But.... Is it possible that when you login as root, the KMix (volume control/mixer) is correctly configured with the volume up and all the correct inputs/outputs activated but the User Desktop(s) are not correctly configured?
