Making "/dev/snd/*" read/write for other consistently
Problem:
My sound does not work, UNLESS I input the command Code:
[sudo] chmod u+rw /dev/snd/* Maybe it is the certain setup I have for sound (as I noticed the audio group was a group and it had read-write privileges to it). I actually have no way besides Flash to play sounds after I make the change (mplayer can't even find my devices since it isn't even looking to the correct path, but that's another problem). I am running Gentoo Linux i686-2.6.19-r5. Perhaps the compatibility issue is where it stores things like input, snd, et al (/dev/input, /dev/snd). Perhaps I should post on Gentoo forums. But, does anyone know how I can fix this problem? |
You just need to include your user into the audio group. Use the usermod command to do that.

I did that. id username says I am in the audio group. But it doesn't seem to grant permission.
Do the apps the user executes inherit that user's groups? |
