hello all, i'm having a problem with my alsa kernel modules. i keep getting permission denied, even when i've been a member of group audio since 1970 (j/k), and i've played around with /etc/modules.conf and /etc/devfs/devfsd.conf, setting root:audio 0660 and other shenanigans.
i don't know what else i'm missing. i'll include relevant parts of the two aforementioned files. well, /etc/modutils/aliases, not modules.conf: # ALSA native device support alias char-major-116 snd options snd snd_major=116 snd_cards_limit=1 enable_beep device_mode=0666 device_uid=0 device_gid=29 # OSS/Free setup options soundcore snd-mixer-oss snd-seq-oss snd-pcm-oss device_mode=0666 device_uid=0 device_gid=29 alias char-major-14 soundcore #alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss AFAIK, gid=29 is group audio, as per my /etc/group file. /etc/devfs/devfsd.conf: # ALSA mods LOOKUP snd MODLOAD ACTION snd REGISTER ^sound$ PERMISSIONS root.audio 0750 REGISTER ^sound/.* PERMISSIONS root.audio 0660 REGISTER ^snd$ PERMISSIONS root.audio 0750 REGISTER ^snd/.* PERMISSIONS root.audio 0660 (those 750 perms should be changed, i know) simon lost wandering around in the ALSA forest
