-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I had the problem on 2 arch boxes that sound generally didn't work when using gdm. Sound also stopped when I e.g. switched to another tty, independend from if gdm was active or if I started gnome from console via startx. I fixed both issues with adding myself to the audio group without changing anything in /etc/dev/rules.d or similar things. It seems to me that it was also an issue with sessions: According to the journal, gdm starts using session 1 but a new session 2 is opened for $user after login. ~Jakob -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with undefined - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJQsRMqAAoJEOl7hkDId7Ym+iEQAJ3II8iqPsPE7FNcy6862yt6 mDcFoQxw0kmV8OG8ivB9JkSsYEOcTCIlSzHOQX0WhDxJuzTSKpCPS906obdc97Dj 2/GQWVy9LXbF9ZLMm+yjGQpbWdbM3NdyJ6c4NWyLV7zqE2L8lK1+AVxe1gmNi/v0 4hRVRylNZ2vodI/wPVFugXgGkUnX4VY8v8nFO+SSlyJdOMmMA8iJDVi5s65gw/24 44KJ7IzpDGsN9PZhF/AqcSrBAGWOToAjeqLcKxM0oIr6OSUj/VSfR7D4Py+bTp/i tJhgHRmB46LP+QLcwBwPXJMC/r+F0qE+OFDCxpRVvyty3PTIWqRSIQJthbZ+Yf6K OSjvlUlVobhdYdfwzK5BRSt30FK/rQ6quEuYLC1fUkORePLjxnoQ/OyL9a9O7+nE 3/xYWzQpL8+vu5CG2LyZUsz/1f/jz7r847vS/J0n9zh3gJRHN9u7epdHfpLmYWrp mkD7BDs6lRs1uo67rDMG3f3VtBZzfVKKNBFppLiMdfuUHqxpzHCFap/hUZ98hEyE tER8BsXYINLkZM+TSivcX6/stDA83tPInUZCcroZnpUYvT41vhlJsuG/sVEl0pQ6 VBEKvuhNyaDSjT2ai6TrALUiZNUsaJa187z4XvSVJBZql3YErsF/n+IDj21OCrQw 5kxVumvw5Olg5bb9kqU9 =Lrtu -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
