i'm running slackware64-14.2 with default configuration. It uses pulseaudio as the sound system. I'm unable to get sound from programs run by another user with sudo. I created long ago a new group called "newgroup" to which I added the user that runs pulseaudio mainuser and created a new user newuser belonging to newgroup. i set "auth-group=mewgroup" to module-native-protocol-unix in ~mainuser/.config/pulse/default.pa and i can see that it is properly loaded through pacmd. But still when running audio programs like mplayer as newuser with sudo i can't get sound. Same problem with graphical programs. the socket created is as follows: drwx------ 2 mainuser users 4096 avril 1 18:36:59 /tmp/pulse-t5rfGHe56b5G /tmp/pulse-t5rfGHe56b5G ├── [srwxrwxrwx mainuser users Apr 1 18:36] cli ├── [srwxrwxrwx mainuser users Apr 1 18:35] native └── [-rw------- mainuser users Apr 1 18:35] pid when i run an audio outputting program as newuser with sudo i see a new folder /tmp/pulse-xxxXXxxXXXxx created and nothing inside. in /etc/group: audio:x:17:root,pulse,mainuser,newuser _______________________________________________ pulseaudio-discuss mailing list pulseaudio-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/pulseaudio-discuss
