Re: Sound PLEASE



I did that,, same thing,,so I tried chmod 777 *, here is how the permissions look like in /dev/sound/
drwxr-xr-x    1 root     root            0 Dec 31  1969 ../
crwxrwxrwx    1 root     audio     14,   4 Dec 31  1969 audio
crwxrwxrwx    1 root     audio     14,   3 Dec 31  1969 dsp
crwxrwxrwx    1 root     audio     14,   5 Dec 31  1969 dspW
crwxrwxrwx    1 root     audio     14,   2 Dec 31  1969 midi
crwxrwxrwx    1 root     audio     14,   0 Dec 31  1969 mixer
crwxrwxrwx    1 root     audio     14,   1 Dec 31  1969 sequencer
crwxrwxrwx    1 root     audio     14,   8 Dec 31  1969 sequencer2
The only thing that I couldn't change is the link to dsp and mixer in /dev/
lr-xr-xr-x    1 root     root            9 Jun  4 11:29 dsp -> sound/dsp
lr-xr-xr-x    1 root     root           11 Jun  4 11:29 mixer -> sound/mixer

I guess because they are links,
again, Gnome1.4 works, shell access works.. My guess is it's an esd thing since garnome is not using the esd that is is /usr/bin/
So is this a bug? do I submit a bug report? I'm starting to hear my self think,, no sound .. :(

Thanks

According to your permissions, the audio group doesn't have any rights
to the sound card, only root does.  you should try chmod g+rwx /dev/dsp
/dev/mixer ...

Unless I have something backwards, the first set of letters for ls -al
are for owner, the next set are for group, and the last set are for
"everyone else".  ls is saying that only root has rw access, --- for
group, and --- for everyone else.

Well, unless you're running garnome as root, then you've got access to
it no matter what, but that's usually not such a good idea, and Nautilus
will make it a point to inform you of that every time you start it :)
