Creating an audio group, assigning /dev/dsp to the audio group and

If you type 'groups' in an xterm, are you in the audio group?
Whats the output of ls -l /dev/dsp?
Is xmms set up to use /dev/dsp for output or is it

Erik,
Yes, I tested with 'groups', /dev/dsp shows the group is 'audio'.
This pc uses ALSA. I've had trouble with eg audacity in the past where
there was competition between possible audio streams
Now, this is weird - when I ran 'strace xmms' (to see if I could pick an
error) it all worked!

An odd development in the last couple of days - xmms won't play any mp3s
for any user. ie the play slider does not show a knob after I try to
start a play. It's ok for root, so the relevant files are there. Using

Starting from a command line there is no error message, nor is there

Most likely cause is that you are not in the 'audio' group.
In a terminal window, run the 'groups' command and that will
tell you what groups you are a member of.

Erik,
This machine does not have an audio group. I'll try out that concept
after work. Thanks,

This is usually relevant to the permissions on /dev/dsp - usually it's rw
for the audio group.. you can modify these as you see fit

Hello
I am using xmms with alsa and using a shell script to play a series of
sound files at different amplitudes -by setting the volume level in the
~/.xmms/config file before running - ie:
volume_left=50
volume_right=0
However they play at full volume anyway and when I look in the config
Henry,
xmms doesn't usually set the volume. Nor is the volume set in a config
file - its essentially a state in the driver.
Just use a tool like aumix (or amixer for alsa) to change volume levels:
aumix -v50,0
play_sound
aumix -v0,50
play_sound
The -w option is also handy, depending on your
