I have a USB speaker system that I'm trying to get running under Fedora-18. It works for root but not for ordinary users. How do I get it to work for an ordinary user? Add them user to some special group; if so, which one? I've appended some info that I've been able to find out about it. I also have a USB scanner, which "just works"; it shows up similarly, except for a + at the end of the ls listing: # ll /dev/bus/usb/001/009 crw-rw-r--+ 1 root root 189, 8 Mar 11 14:47 /dev/bus/usb/001/009 Thanks for your help - jon Here's the info for the speakers I'm having trouble with: # lsusb -s5:5 Bus 005 Device 005: ID 08bb:2702 Texas Instruments Japan Speakers # ll /dev/bus/usb/005/005 crw-rw-r--. 1 root root 189, 516 Mar 11 14:12 /dev/bus/usb/005/005 # lsusb -vs 5:5 Bus 005 Device 005: ID 08bb:2702 Texas Instruments Japan Speakers Device Descriptor: bLength 18 bDescriptorType 1 bcdUSB 1.00 bDeviceClass 0 (Defined at Interface level) bDeviceSubClass 0 bDeviceProtocol 0 bMaxPacketSize0 8 idVendor 0x08bb Texas Instruments Japan idProduct 0x2702 Speakers bcdDevice 1.00 iManufacturer 1 Burr-Brown Japan iProduct 2 Burr-Brown Japan PCM2702 iSerial 0 bNumConfigurations 1 Configuration Descriptor: bLength 9 bDescriptorType 2 wTotalLength 165 bNumInterfaces 2 bConfigurationValue 1 iConfiguration 0 bmAttributes 0x40 (Missing must-be-set bit!)
