Removing pulseaudio and alsa-plugins-pulseaudio fixes this. A much more amusing one (after removing pulseaudio): 1. Login as root and run speaker-test 2. Press ctrl-c to terminate the test early. 3. Run ipcs and look at the SysV shared memory and semaphores that still exist, especially: ------ Semaphore Arrays -------- key semid owner perms nsems 0x0056a4d5 0 root 600 1 4. Log out, then login as a normal user; try to run speaker-test: ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:833:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to create IPC semaphore strace shows it is trying to create/access semaphore key 0x56a4d5 That semaphore set exists until manually removed with ipcrm or the system is rebooted, preventing anyone but root from using audio on the console.
