Hello all,
I have a machine. One user logs in (using gnome) and has sound. The
second user logs in (also using gnome) and does not. When the second
user double-clicks on the volume applet he gets the following error:
The volume control did not find any elements and/or devices to
control. This means that either you don't have the right GStreamer
plugins installed, or that you don't have a sound card configured.
You can remove the volume control from the panel by right-clicking the
speaker icon on the panel and selecting "Remove from panel" from the
menu.
Anyone have any advice on how to track down this problem? I figure it
has to be something in the second users' environment or dot files, but
I haven't a clue where to start.
Thanks for your help,
Michael
Oh yeah, and:
- both users are in the audio group
- permissions on /dev/dsp are crw-rw----, and owned by root:audio
- contents of .xession-errors for second user contain the following:
/dev/dsp: Permission denied
*** (gnome-session:4512): WARNING **: Esound failed to start.
I don't know why esound would fail to start if both users are in the
audio group.
