Hi all,
I have sound as root but no sound when logged in as normal user on suse.
Can anyone help?

Check to see if the "normal" user is in the SOUND group. Or just do with SU:

usermod "name of user" -A sound (without quotes

)

I actually manually did that in the /etc/group file and i added the user to the audio group, but the user still can't get sound!Anything else?

Check with "ls" if you have read and write permissions on /dev/dsp , /dev/adsp and /dev/mixer. "should be 660". If you don't ..Do su and

chmod 660 /dev/dsp
chmod 660 /dev/adsp
chmod 660 /dev/mixer

I had done that with just /dev/dsp and /dev/mixer.But got nothing.Let me try it with /dev/adsp,and see if it comes.....
