First off, I'd like to thank everyone that helped me get LIRC
working with the PVR150. It works like a dream now. The problem that
I have now seems like it may be a permission issue but I'm not sure
where. I can't use ALSA if I'm logged in as the mythtv user but it
works fine if I'm logged in as root. Here is what I get as root and
as mythtv:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /]# aplay /usr/share/sounds/KDE_Startup.wav
Playing WAVE '/usr/share/sounds/KDE_Startup.wav' : Signed 16 bit
Little Endian, Rate 22050 Hz, Mono
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /]# exit
exit
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /]$ aplay /usr/share/sounds/KDE_Startup.wav
ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:797:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to create IPC shm
instance
aplay: main:533: audio open error: Permission denied
Here are the permissions of /dev/audio and /dev/dsp:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /]$ ls -l /dev/au*
crwxrwxrwx 1 mythtv root 14, 4 Oct 18 03:24 /dev/audio
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /]$ ls -l /dev/dsp
crwxrwxrwx 1 mythtv root 14, 3 Oct 18 03:24 /dev/dsp
Any ideas????
ls -al /dev/snd
to show ALSA devices.
Most likely you'll see a group called "audio" or something. Then, just
add mythtv user to the audio group. If not (i.e. if owner and group are
root), fix the permissions (probably in udev scripts--
http://www.reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html ).
