 |
|
I'm trying to allow non-root users play sound on Gentoo, but I can't make then play sound.
I already tried this tutorial at http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/TroubleShooting but it don't helped me.
I'm using gnome and I already checked that my user is in audio group and the devices at /dev/snd are owned by the audio group and property of the root user.
when I use totem as root, I can control the volume, but when I in my user, the sound looks like it is playing but the volume control button is disabled and no sound is heard. |

all of my non root users can play sound with the right software.
does the service works?

I've solved my two main problems for now, the nvidia and audio problems by typing these two commands.
gpasswd -a fernando video
gpasswd -a fernando audio |
