I have two users on my system, and in one's domain, I have set the system to play a sound when I hit the caps lock, and another when I unlock it again.
Now I find that the second user has those settings as well, they were already there,I didn't enter them again, however, the second user gets no sound whatsoever.
Nor can I find a way enabling sound for this user
Anybody got any ideas?
Thanks

Both users share a group and I have added that group via
Code:
sudo setfacl -m g:writer:rwx /dev/snd/*
that was successful in the sense that the group has been added to the files, and has rwx permissions set, however, no sound emanates from the second user but continues for the primary user.
Snippet:
I have not rebooted, that might have an influence. If it does, I'll report it here then close the thread, if not, I'll leave things as they are and hope for more guidance.

Snippet:
There is still sound for crb999 for operation of the caps lock, but none for writer.
I do get a tool bar warning that the key has been operated, but no sound, no devices, and no way to add devices that i have yet found or been told about.
see picture attached.
