Hi all, 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 rada@pavilion:~> uname -r 2.6.13-15.12-default rada@pavilion:~> rpm -qa alsa* alsamixergui-0.9.0rc1-546 alsa-firmware-1.0.13-0.pm.0 alsa-tools-gui-1.0.13-0.pm.0 alsa-devel-1.0.9-23 alsa-tools-1.0.13-0.pm.0 alsa-1.0.13-0.pm.0 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?
