They've been root.audio from the beginning, I was just playing with some stuff though and made some progress. These are the default permissions, my username is cbarry and I am in group audio: $ ls -l /dev/audio /dev/dsp crwxrwx--- 1 root audio 14, 4 Jul 20 17:45 /dev/audio crwxrwx--- 1 root audio 14, 3 Jul 20 17:45 /dev/dsp I noticed I still couldn't catenate a file to /dev/audio though because of permission denied so I changed them to this: crwxrwxrwx 1 root audio 14, 4 Jul 20 17:45 /dev/audio crwxrwxrwx 1 root audio 14, 3 Jul 20 17:45 /dev/dsp Now this really has me confused. I can play files now as a user but I can't use the volume control and speaker balance as they do absolutely nothing. I'm stuck with one set volume, while again with root everything is perfect. If I'm a member of group audio, why did I have to change the permissions from what they were to write to /dev/audio? I really am a newbie to the unixy way of doing things with all these permissions. I've been using MS for too many years I guess. I guess for volume control and speaker balance there's another /dev device but I'll be damned if I know which one. > George Bonser > > Microsoft!
