If that's the case root will have to do something like: usermod -a -G audio,video <username> and then reboot the system. Doing a groups command again as the user should show audio and video along with whatever else was in that list earlier. If so, try downloading youtube-viewer and run it and search for a youtube video as the user and see what happens when you try to play that video. I think you'll have video and audio if the video has audio to play.Date: Thu, 21 Jan 2016 05:22:59 From: Floris <jkfloris@dds.nl> To: debian-user@lists.debian.org Subject: Re: ?? user in group audio -- but only root can play sound Resent-Date: Thu, 21 Jan 2016 10:23:21 +0000 (UTC) Resent-From: debian-user@lists.debian.orgOp Sat, 16 Jan 2016 20:06:22 +0100 schreef Gregor Zattler <telegraph@gmx.net>:Hi there, since a few days my normal user, which is in group sound, cannot play sound (aplay works but no sound) while root can.

In Debian Testing systemd takes care for setting the right rights That is why you have a "+" at the end of the permissions. What is the outcome of: getfacl /dev/snd/hwC0D0 success, floris--
