Hi folks, I am wondering of an application, which is getting sound only when started as root. When I start this aapplication as a normal user, sound is not working.
Please note, that generally sound is working as a normal user, only this application needs root. Environment: Debian stable with pipewire, window manager is plasma5 (but every other wm shows the same problem). I am in the group "audio". What might first help, I would like to know, if the settings of /dev/snd/* are correct: /dev/snd = root:root , drwxr-xr-x All others below /dev/snd are set crw-rw--- = root:audio Is this correct? If yes, any hints, why this special application will have to use root right? This application is a flight sim (X-Plane by Laminar Resaerch), a commercial product, but if it is a bug in the application, I suppose, they will fix it. Theire support is very well. However, I want to get sure, that everything is correct by me, before I blame myself. Any idea might be well. Thanks for any help. Best regards Hans
