Package: adduser Version: 3.113+nmu3 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
I was having issues with fast user switching in Gnome. When the first user leaves something running that uses the sound card the second user only gets a "Dummy Output" sound device. Researching the problem led me to find that users should not be in the 'audio' group but all of the users on my systems were: https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/Documentation/User/PerfectSetup/ https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio/TheAudioGroup https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Advanced_Linux_Sound_Architecture#User_privileges Removing the users from this group fixes the issue completely. I'm not sure what package creates users during installation, but the --add_extra_groups flag for this command adds this group.
