Sound if root only
Running woody on a Dell Inspiron 8100 with kernel 2.4.14. The system uses a
Maestro3 sound chip. Compiling kernel 2.4.14, the Maestro3 driver shows up
marked as experimental under xconfig but it is grayed out and non-selectable.
So far as I could tell, it isn't dependent upon another option. Under
menuconfig, the Maestro3 doesn't show up at all. I manually edited .config
and enabled the Maestro3 driver. The kernel compiled fine, and I have sound
under X if I'm logged in as root. If I log in under my normal user account,
I have no sound. My first thought is a permissions issue, but I'm not sure
which files might cause this. Thanks in advance for any thoughts or
suggestions.
