 Posted: Sun May 12, 2002 8:02 pm Post subject: Audio permissions |
 |
|
| Ok here is the problem: After installing KDE, which i have since removed, my audio permissions are shot. I can change them as root but they get changed every time my computer gets restarted. I have to manually reset them each time i boot into gentoo. Any suggestions on how i can fix this permanently through one of the config files?? |

You can either add yourself to the group audio *proper*, or you could chmod /dev/dsp and /dev/mixer *dirty*

as root, do
| Code: |
usermod -G audio,lp username
|
the 'lp' is for when you also want to be able to print  |
