I just did a little test like this: # user add -m test # passwd test # echo "chromium https://youtube.com"; > /home/test/.xinitrc logoff and then logon (slim) as test. a first test "bingo", it works, there is sound ! I extend the test : I close Chromium, I reconnect again immediatly and KO, no sound. I try again : close the browser and reopen the session as test user but still KO.
