[SOLVED] installing alsa on Slackware

These are typical groups that people usually add themselves to:

audio video cdrom plugdev power netdev

It only says users.

How do I add the groups to my user?

Try [as root]:

Code:

usermod -a -G audio,video,cdrom,plugdev,power,netdev your_username

Should mention: you have to log out and back in before groups take effect.

It works. Sound works fine now! Thanks for the help!

Slackware 13's usermod does not appear to have the "-a" option which I assume showed up in -current and which I further assume means to add you to each group in the list versus setting your groups to that list.

The following command will add you to the these groups in addition to whatever groups you already have configured and will work on older versions of Slackware.

Code:

for x in  audio video cdrom plugdev power netdev ; do gpasswd -a your_username $x; done

Thanks. I should have remembered about it. I think someone already pointed it out in the past.

I found that out when I put in the comand so I removed the "-a" and it worked. So yeah all is good.
