 Posted: Thu Jun 06, 2002 6:49 pm Post subject: /dev/dsp permission denied |
 |
|
I have an sblive on my box. Until now I was able to use /dev/dsp as a user. No I'm getting permission denied messages for /dev/dsp. I can't figure out what I did and caused this 
There is no problem auto-loading the sound modules and auto-creating the devices. Note also that I don't use any sound daemons.
Can anybody help me with this?
Here are some extra details.
| Code: |
> lsmod
Module Size Used by Not tainted
bluez 25100 1 (autoclean)
3c59x 24808 1
apm 9128 1

Is your user account a member of the audio group?
root@yourbox # usermod -G username users,audio,wheel,foo
When you do this, you need to list all the groups a users should be in.

That's definitely a possibility. But I (think I) had sound working without beeing in any special group.

/dev/dsp and /dev/sound/dsp have their permissions set to root.audio so if your not part of the audio group and you haven't changed the permissions in /etc/devfsd.conf you can't access the devices as a regular user. So please check this,....

you should definately be a member of the audio group ... you can't get x6 to the device otherwise.
You were prob. root when you tried to play audio the first time |
