Subject: Sound in KDE FC4
Hi
I still seem to have problems in getting Alsa to work with
KDE,OSS works ok but Alsa brings up an error that "device: default
can't be opened for playback (Permission denied)" when starting in
Sound System.
I tried this "cat /usr/share/sounds/KDE_Startup.wav > /dev/dsp"
and returned distortion and screeching.
Any ideas as to what is going on please
Are trying this as root or another user? I had a problem where the
sound would work in root, but not as a normal user. Adding the user
to the "audio" group worked for me.
No I'm using it as user and there is no "audio" in groups only david:root
owner:group in /dev/snd,dcp,audio,*
david
