 |
|
Ok it started with trying to get mpd to run I keep getting the error:
| Code: | # mpd
problems getting ao_driver_info
you may not have permission to the audio device |
So I searched for forums and found this https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?p=1446081#1446081 stating I needed to change /etc/security/console.perms
So I did that and that is when I lost all my sound. So I went and back and changed it back to
| Code: | | <console> 0600 <sound> 0600 root.audio |
When I go to play something with say aplay for example I get:
| Code: | $ aplay pricewrong.wav
aplay: main:508: audio open error: Permission denied
|
When I check /dev/snd and /dev/sound I get:
| Code: | # ls -l /dev/snd/ /dev/sound/
/dev/snd/:
total 0
