<div>That looked like a good theory but when I checked the files in /etc/security/console.perms.d/ I find no line with <sound> at all (and no line with /dev/snd either).</div>
<div>Should I add some lines manually or is the problem somewhere else?<br>/Bengt</div>

<br><br>That's correct. You would have to make your audio devices accessible to<br>all users, not only to the person physically logged into the machine.<br>You can do that by changing this file:<br><br>/etc/security/console.perms.d/50-

<br>anybody logged in will have access).<br><br>-- Fernando<br><br><br></blockquote></div><br>
