thanks and regards
the following is the error msg i get when i start slack as normal user.
Sound server informational message:
Error while initializing the sound driver:
device: default can't be opened for playback (permission denied)
The sound server will continue, using the null output device.
ok if i start as root i dont seem to get that error msg. from the look of it i think it has to do with permissions which i dont understand how to go about. any ideas how to solve this problems.
