This has happened every time I install SuSE… I get everything working, and the sound is still flaky. Every time.
Now it’s on the server. To get SoftSqueeze working, I need to have access to the sound card, which currently I do not. The root user seems to have control, since I can send a ‘play’ command as root, and tunes comes out, however as a regulas user. Nada.
I had already copied the asound.conf file (mentioned in an earlier post) to the /etc folder.
And I get some error message. Gonna persue the permissions…
Got it. Looked at the permissions for /dev/dsp and it belonged to user root and group audio.
Made the user (myself) part of the audio group, rebooted, and all is well.
