well, weird. i have the same permissions -- an ensoniq chip on the motherboard; did work, doesn't now. (i have a feeling i'm gonna have to recompile about half the distribution before things work properly. just a feeling.)

First of all check to make sure you are part of the audio group (yast system configuration and group admin, then F3 to slect audio, finally make sure your name is on the members line). Then check to see if you have KDE set to use full duplex, if it is take that off and try again.

xglobe puts a very cool planet earth application in place of the normal desktop; i have mine set up with a high-res moon map so that it's a realtime moonphase app. when it works. which it did with 7.2, and which it doesn't now.

Going to have to figure this one out, sounds too cool to let die. Typing xglobe -kde should work right?

All symlinks look this way. The premissions are set by the object it points to. Look at ls -l /dev/dsp0 for the real permissions regards Anders

This is all screwed up. At the very least, it should be more like: crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 3 Sep 23 18:54 /dev/dsp0 The device should be owned by root and the group audio. This allows any user in the group audio to read or write to it. Why is your's so badly mangled? Try MAKEDEV to rebuild your devices properly. (Um, `makedev --help'? I don't recall the capitolization, there may be a .sh extension, but the script should be in the /dev directory.

Mine looks the same, and everything works. I suspect this is a little hack to achieve with sound what Xauth does for graphics, ie that only the person logged in on the X server should be allowed to play sounds. I could be wrong of course, and I haven't actually found the startup script that sets it, but it does have a certain logic. Why should 'any user in the group audio' be allowed to send sounds to my speakers, or listen to what I'm listening to, when 'any user in group video' isn't allowed access to my screen.

My look the same as well, but like "dep" mine system sound is not working (CD sound is okay). So, I made the dsp as adviced, like: crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 3 Sep 23 18:54 /dev/dsp0 checked this with ls -l. After logging out and back into kde, the settings were back to, say: rw------- 1 matthew users 14, 3 Sep 23 18:54 /dev/dsp0 It seems there is a script (with root permission) that is run during logging that changes the dsp settings. Or are the /dev/dsp devices built up during logging in? -- Richard Bos For those without home the journey is endless

Whoops I meant to say group "audio" in my previous post, not group "sound"..apologies for any confusion.

Well it "sounded" right :). Matt -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE74PfNWER6riTj1jIRAiXJAJ97jr6+SPIGCelBz7wYFhvtHOCy0wCeO7FX WohWO93zhqkve6BuOBzIW/A= =HoL0 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
