In the old days I'd have said "add this user to the audio group". adduser username audio Then log out, and make sure there are no processes running by that user (login as root at a console and "ps -ef | grep username"), then login again, or reboot if it is simpler than messing around with ps and things. These days this probably shouldn't be the answer, so if it works we may have more questions. -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
