Out of curiosity, how did you solve the sound problem? Or did you?
When I switch users, the sound is disabled. I assume it's some sort of permission thing on artsd?
It's been a long time since I did the sound setup on my machine. I'm sure there is a more appropriate method that someone could point out but this is (what I believe) is doing the trick for me. I'd be glad to hear any better (less ugly) method In /etc/profile.local I added the following lines chmod 666 /dev/dsp0 chmod 666 /dev/dsp1 chmod 666 /dev/dsp2 chmod 666 /dev/dsp3 chmod 666 /dev/snd/* chmod 666 /dev/admmidi* chmod 666 /dev/adsp* chmod 666 /dev/amidi* chmod 666 /dev/audio* I'm sure some readers are whincing right now, my settings are probably overkill, but they seam to work All we use sound for is Amarok and system notifications so I don't know if my sound (microphone, etc) inputs work or not, but at least all users can listen to music. I have noticed that the sound volume in my login changes after logging in my wife or daughter but this can be adjusted again using kmix. I've also added similar lines so that all users can access our scanner. Suse 9.2, kde3.5 Alsa 1.0.10 kernel 2.6.12-rc2 Soundblaster live 5.1 card.
