I have to run alsamixer as root, or I get: alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: Permission denied One of the scripts I run after I install alsa-modules is: #/usr/share/alsa-base/snddevices #chmod a+rw /dev/dsp /dev/mixer /dev/midi /dev/sequencer /dev/audio I can run aplay and other sound things as a user. There's probably a group I should add my user to, what is it? Thanks
