Question Sound capturing problem only as root ???


At the moment, im only able to do sound capturing (from the analog line in) in root mode.

Using audacity in root mode, i can select my Sound Blaster Audigy both, for recording an playback.
Back again as a normal user, i'm only able to select the OSS for capturing, and this doesn't work (error message when pushing the "record" - button). But im still able to use the Audigy for playback.
Under another program, wine/mp3DirectCut it's the same problem, so it seems not to be application - specific.

I'm using A Vector Linux/Slack distro, i've tryed the configuration tool but the problem isn't resolved (it seems that under Vector Linux there is no alsaconfig or alsaconf tool, but the vasm - Configuration tool does nearly anything automatic without asking).

Does anybody knows a solution or at least a starting point for resolving this problem ?

Thanks,
Florian

The solution is

as root in /dev/snd (the alsa devices)
#chmod o=rw- pcmC*D*c

(sets rw rights for all captuer devices for all users)
