What you have just done is bypass standard *NIX permission protections, and allowed anyone with a connection to your box to play music through your speakers or listen to you through your microphone. When you have these sort of problems, it's better to learn the way to resolve them that works within the existing framework (as adding a user to group audio does) than totally bypassing the existing filesystem layer of protection. Habits learned early tend to stick, so it's better to learn the right way early on. > > After that you should have sound. At least, that works for me.
