Sounds like someone forgot to read the Alsa Guide here: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/alsa-guide.xml. If they had, they'd have read: Audio Group Before we move on to testing, there's one last important thing that needs to be setup. Rule of thumb in a *nix OS: Do not run as root unless needed. This applies here as well ;) How? Well, most of the times you should be logged in as a user and would like to listen to music or access your soundcard. For that to happen, you need to be in the "audio" group. At this point, we'll add users to the audio group, so that they won't have any issues when they want to access sound devices. We'll use gpasswd here and you need to be logged in as root for this to work. Code Listing 3.4: Adding users to the audio group (Substitute <username> with your user) # gpasswd -a <username> audio Adding user <username> to group audio ... ;) Terry
