Hi,

I have mythtv up and running for the root user - but it may seem somewhat risky...so I've created a user called my

This is whats happening:
The use can start X and he can start mythtv and browse around but if he tries to watch TV (or listen to music) he'll get an error saying:
Code:
ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:868:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave
(snd_pcm_open(default):Permission denied.

I know that it is some device or something that I haven't given 'my' the correct rights to - but which one.
I guess that my problem is that I've never really understod the alsa architechture - How does alsa relate to /dev/



My .asoundrc looks like this:

Code:
pcm.!default {
        type plug
        slave.pcm "swmixer"
        }

pcm.swmixer {
        type dmix
        ipc_key 1234
        slave {
                pcm "hw:0,0"
                period_time 0
                period_size 1024
                buffer_size 4096
                rate 44100
                }
        }

pcm.dsp {
        type plug
        slave.pcm "swmixer"
        }

ctl.mixer {
        type hw
        card 0
        }

Is your myth user in the 'audio' group?
