Ah! I tried this one but sadly no change: no sound as normal
user.

Thinking about: mpd is also not in these groups and I can her
music.

So that's still not it.

When I play some sound, I see aplay working, but do not hear sound:

     $ play  /home/grfz/Downloads/tuxok.wav
     
     /home/grfz/Downloads/tuxok.wav:
     
     File Size: 129k      Bit Rate: 1.41M
     Encoding: Signed PCM
     Channels: 2 @ 16-bit
     Samplerate: 44100Hz
     Replaygain: off
     Duration: 00:00:00.73
     
     In:100%  00:00:00.73 [00:00:00.00] Out:32.3k [      |      ] Hd:0.0 Clip:0
     Done.

When I do the same with sudo I hear sound and there is additional
output on the terminal:


     $ sudo play  /home/grfz/Downloads/tuxok.wav
[...]
     In:100%  00:00:00.73 [00:00:00.00] Out:35.2k [      |      ] Hd:0.0 Clip:53
     play WARN rate: rate clipped 30 samples; decrease volume?
     play WARN dither: dither clipped 23 samples; decrease volume?
     Done.


Does this give a clue to someone?

Ciao, Gregor
