Check /dev/sound/dsp for the correct permission. On my machine /dev/dsp was a symlink of /dev/sound/dsp and even though the symlink's permissions were correct the permissions of the file it was linked to were not. For me at least, adding yourself to audio wouldn't work as the files (well, /dev/dsp at least) looked to be owned by root:root. I just had this problem and doing a chmod o+rw /dev/sound/dsp solved it (I actually did /dev/sound/* just in case). -- James Tanis [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://pycoder.org -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
