Fran?ois: Perhaps there is a problem with OSS not setting up symlinks properly?
Are you using the OSS from the 4front (www.opensound.com) website? If so, you might need to run the following command as root to ensure that the device symlinks get set up properly. "ossdevlinks -r" Note that logindevperm normally manages audio device permissions, and makes sure that the permissions change to the user on login, and back to root on logout. For this to work, you must use a display manager which works with logindevperm. Both CDE login and GDM should work properly. If you are using some different display manager then you may have problems. You should probably check "man logindevperm" and make sure that your logindevperm configuration is set up properly. For example, it should have a line like the following to make sure that the audio devices are set up properly. /dev/vt/active 0600 /dev/sound/* # audio devices If /dev/sound/* doesn't contain symlinks to your actual audio device files, then that could also be a problem. A workaround you can try is to change the "0600" to "0666" and see if that helps. Brian > Sorry if I'm late with this but I just ran into this problem and found a > solution.
