What I am asking is, what permissions got screwed up, and what do I need to do to fix it? Any assistance appreciated Gary |
I've seen this happen and often the problem is a stale artsd process that won't terminate.
For starters: Exit KDE/X. Run ps ax | grep arts. Use kill -9 to kill all such processes. Verify ALSA remains configured and running okay: Find a wave file and then play using the aplay command (aplay some-wave-file.wav). Any problems then run alsaconf, alsmixer, and alsactl store. |
aplay /dev/urandom has a pretty melody and is effective

Thank you for the replies!.
But it looks like something I did when I installed vbox, screwed up the group memberships for my user. Got it fixed after some googling to find out how to look at and change the group memberships. Gary |
