I suddenly realised that awesome does not give me sound. Root can play music, but I cannot; not even as group audio. It used to work when I used the xfce4-session, but using awesome without a DE, it does not.
Google gives me plenty of hits explaining how to debug sound in various DE's, but not with a bare WM. The system is Ubuntu 11.04, and everything loooking like a sound device (/dev/snd/*) is root.audio mode 660. There is no /dev/audio device. Thus the stone age skills fail me too ... Does anyone know how to get sound priviliges without a DE, when all the hardware and drivers demonstratably work? TIA -- :-- Hans Georg -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [email protected].
