Harald, I revisited /etc/security/console.perms.d/50-default.perms and got it to work. For the list, I changed: In /etc/security/console.perms.d/50-default.perms > # permission definitions . > <console> 0666 <sound> 0666 root And In /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules > KERNEL=="snd/*", MODE="0666", OWNER="wre00:root" Then I did the udevtrigger. Then i did the udevtrigger, plugged in my USB sound device and got this: > [root@laptop wre00]# ls -lrt /dev/snd > total 0 > crw-rw-rw- 1 wre00 root 116, 2 Oct 10 09:45 timer > crw-rw-rw- 1 wre00 root 116, 3 Oct 10 09:45 seq > crw-rw-rw- 1 wre00 root 116, 4 Oct 10 09:45 pcmC0D0p > crw-rw-rw- 1 wre00 root 116, 5 Oct 10 09:45 pcmC0D0c > crw-rw-rw- 1 wre00 root 116, 6 Oct 10 09:45 controlC0 > crw-rw-rw- 1 wre00 root 116, 7 Oct 10 10:28 pcmC1D0p > crw-rw-rw- 1 wre00 root 116, 8 Oct 10 10:28 pcmC1D0c > crw-rw-rw- 1 wre00 root 116, 9 Oct 10 10:28 controlC1 I guess both changes are required but it now works. Thanks for your time.
