FM Radio broken after re-flash

2008-06-11 Thread Tony Green 
I had to re-flash my N800 because (I think) the GPE Calendar applet was 
causing it to go into a reboot loop. Since re-flashing and re-installing 
everything, all my apps are working except the FM radio. Initially it was 
complaining about being unable to access /dev/radio0, which is owned by root 
and only accessible to users in the video group, but this seems to have been 
fixed by purging the package and re-installing it, but I'm still getting no 
sound out of it. Audio works fine from other apps, such as the media player.

Running /usr/bin/fmradio from the command-line gets the following output:

snd_hctl_open(master) failed: Permission denied
fmradio[1333]: GLIB DEBUG default - dbus call force_loudspeaker_off 
sucsess
snd_hctl_open(master) failed: Permission denied
snd_hctl_open(master) failed: Permission denied
fmradio[1333]: GLIB DEBUG default - Set volume failed
snd_hctl_open(master) failed: Permission denied

Suggesting something to do with snd_hctl, which I can find no reference to on 
the Maemo site (amazingly, Google only returns a single entry for snd_hctl!)

Any suggestions gratefully received - it's not an app I use every day, but 
it's very useful at times...

SOLVED! Re: FM Radio broken after re-flash

Trying a few more ideas this afternoon and I've solved this problem.

For the record, in case anybody else hits this problem, for some reason 
the user user wasn't in the audio group. After I added the necessary entry 
in /etc/group it works.
