XMMS permissions on user accts
 

I installed the source rpm with the mp3 plugins. I can play music as root, but not on my user accounts. I also have trouble hearing the sounds for 30 sec clips of mp3s. I can play full length mp3s though.

I have the latest XMMS player with the mp3 plugin. I am running RH 9. I tried check the group permissions in the user accounts setup, and it has no selection for audio.

I was wondering how I might give myself and others on the PC the ability to run XMMS and play mp3s.

I read Chris Negus RH 9 Bible, and some of the docs on the pages here. That is how I installed the RPM with the plugin.

Conditions:

It works only on root
Local users cannot even hear sounds
I tested my sound setup and it detects the sound card

I don't know what else to do. I have tried almost everything. I even when into etc/fstab and changed some of the settings, like a user said here. That was to enable functionality of the programs for users.

Thanks for the help

Thanks it worked
 

I did the cmod command in terminal as root and changed permissions and now it works on my user account as well as root accounts. You've been very helpful.

Thanks for posting back. I'm glad it worked. Enjoy the music.

I am listening to UK radio stations. They have some good dance music on a Sat night. I also like di.fm thats a great dance site, and also m1live.com.

Now my brother doesn't have to nag me as much, so now he can play music.
