User rights in /dev/sound

[fmalabre]

Hi,

This morning I changed the user rights for all to +rw on everything in /dev/sound/*
Thus, this made my sound work fine with any user.

I had to reboot, and now my user rights went back as before.
I think I'm using devfs on my system, but I read this has been fixed in gentoo.
Something important maybe, I recompiled my kernel with the vanilla kernel with static (not as a module) devfs.

What can I do to make this change permanent?
Any suggestion?

Thanks,
Fred

I am running the 2.4.19-gentoo-r7 kernel, and the permission changes are permanent for me. You can setup the audio group in your case.

You should change the perms with devfs (assuming you're using it), as devfs is responsible for the creation of dev files.

Edit /etc/devfsd.conf. Search in that file for audio and you'll find something like:

Ok, I start to understand more about devfs.
I finally change the user group to the audio group, as first suggested.

Thanks for your help,
Fred.
