Sounds like someone forgot to read the Alsa Guide here: |

http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/alsa-guide.xml. If they had, they'd have read: |

Audio Group |

Before we move on to testing, there's one last important thing that needs to |
| 24 |
be setup. Rule of thumb in a *nix OS: Do not run as root unless needed. This |
| 25 |
applies here as well ;) How? Well, most of the times you should be logged in |
| 26 |
as a user and would like to listen to music or access your soundcard. For |
| 27 |
that to happen, you need to be in the "audio" group. At this point, we'll |
| 28 |
add users to the audio group, so that they won't have any issues when they |
| 29 |
want to access sound devices. We'll use gpasswd here and you need to be |
| 30 |
logged in as root for this to work. |

Code Listing 3.4: Adding users to the audio group |

| 34 |
(Substitute <username> with your user) |
| 35 |
# gpasswd -a <username> audio |

Adding user <username> to group audio |
