chmod 660 /dev/snd/* When you did a "chgrp audio /dev/snd/*", that corrected the group membership issue with the users. However, if you see the permission bits: crw------- 1 root root 116, 0 Feb 8 11:21 controlC0 user group other rw- --- --- Only the user has read and write permissions. The chmod (change mode) command up top should correct that and give you something like crw-rw---- 1 root root 116, 0 Feb 8 11:21 controlC0 user group other rw- rw- --- "man 1 chmod" for more details. best to you, donfede On Thu, Feb 08, 2007 at 08:29:40PM -0500, John Dey wrote: > Hi Frederico, > > Thanks for your response.
