Check /dev/sound/dsp for the correct permission. On my machine /dev/dsp |
| 31 |
was a symlink of /dev/sound/dsp and even though the symlink's permissions |
| 32 |
were correct the permissions of the file it was linked to were not. For me |
| 33 |
at least, adding yourself to audio wouldn't work as the files (well, |
| 34 |
/dev/dsp at least) looked to be owned by root:root. I just had this |
| 35 |
problem and doing a chmod o+rw /dev/sound/dsp solved it (I actually did |
| 36 |
/dev/sound/* just in case). |
