Re: sound not working after computer upgrade



Dne, 29. 10. 2010 23:20:30 je Rodney D. Myers napisal(a):

Did a reboot, still getting this error;

play /usr/share/sounds/purple/send.wav
ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:996:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave
play soxio: Can't open output file `default': cannot open audio device

alsamixer shows the sound device, which makes this weird

I can almost bet my a...lsa that it's a permissions issue. Now, why the heck would you think that a *reboot* could help -- you said yourself it was working for the root account!?!? Maybe fiddle some more with groups, or perhaps create another user from scratch to see if sound works for him ... maybe even enable "all" groups in the user's properties for the time being? In Gnome, it's under System > Administration > Users and Groups > UserName > Properties.
