Best way to do it is to create or let Suse create a system group called audio and then just add yourself to that group with Yast or via usermod command. On Sun, 2002-12-01 at 13:21, Curtis Rey wrote:

Ok, I am not getting any response from the graphic eq in either xmms or freeamp, and certain functionalities also seem limited. I am wondering if the device permissions need to be reset. I have a few devices set to my user account under ownership and several set under "users" under groups (and then there are a few set under things like audio, disks, etc, etc,...). I have read that audio devices such as dsp, mixer and the lot may give cracks and pops if not set to root. I am also wondering if this causes the players like xmms and freeamp, et al not to have access to the need devices/files to allow for the eq to work. And also what other limitations of devices does setting or not setting certain things to root in the /dev directory have or do?

So, should every device in /dev directory be set to root for ownership? If not what devices should be set to root and which may be set otherwise? And as for group permissions, any pointers as to how or what the group permissions should be set for x/y/z devices?
