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. Sorry, not sitting at a Linux box at the moment.)
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
