Yes, add them to the audio group. You can see what group a particular device is in by long-listing the device, for example: % ls -l /dev/audio crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 4 Nov 19 08:43 /dev/audio So, anyone in the "audio" group can write to the audio device. Just add the user to the audio group, eg., % adduser blahblah audio would add the user "blahblah" to the "audio" group. Gary
