This might be a problem with the automatic ACLs which hal sets, since hal does not otherwise meddle with sound devices. First, please give me the output of "id" for your user. Are you in the "audio" group?
Please give me the output of "getfacl /dev/snd/*" and "sudo fuser -v /dev/snd/*" while hal is running, and after you stopped it. Are the devices inaccessible while hal is running? ** Changed in: hal (Ubuntu Hardy) Assignee: (unassigned) => Martin Pitt (pitti) Status: New => Incomplete -- Built-in microphone on Lenovo USB webcam doesn't work when hald is running https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/310760 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
