switch user with sound?
Hi,
I have KDE 3.3.0 (SuSE 9.2), when I use the "switch user" feature, the new user does not have any sound.
Only the user who logs in first has access to the sound system.
Is it possible to configure alsa or kde in a way that 2 users have access to the sound system?
Thanks,
Cord
RE: switch user with sound?
I had the same problem. The problem is in the permissions of /dev/dsp0. First, make sure that all users are part of the audio group (by default they are not) and second change the permissions of /dev/dsp0 to read and right for all groups.

Yes, that helped.
To make this the default behaviour I changed /etc/logindevperm.
In lines
:0 0600 /dev/dsp:/dev/dsp0:/dev/dsp1:/dev/dsp2:/dev/dsp3
and
:0 0600 /dev/mixer:/dev/mixer0:/dev/mixer1:/dev/mixer2:/dev/mixer3
0600 to 0660
Thank you,
Cord

I don't have that file with Fedora 5 and KDE 3.5... so how do I resolve this?
