I realize this is not the proper group, but I have been searching google, the XFree86 website, ALSA website, newsgroups, etc... and anywhere else I can think of on and off for a few months now. I'm currently running FedoraCore on an ASUS A7N8X Deluxe motherboard, but I don't really think the particular hardware or version of Linux is the problem. I hope it's just a missed configuration issue. Each of these devices seems to only be available to the first X session to logon. I've bypassed this restriction for CD Audio by creating device files for all 4 users of this machines, and then configuring their preferred cd-player app to poing at their device file. It works fine. Any logged-in user can now play cd's. brw------- 1 bird disk 11, 0 Dec 31 18:20 /dev/cd-bird brw------- 1 festus disk 11, 0 Dec 31 18:15 /dev/cd-festus brw------- 1 kayde disk 11, 0 Jan 8 21:09 /dev/cd-kayde brw------- 1 monet disk 11, 0 Dec 31 18:19 /dev/cd-monet My problem now is /dev/mixer, I think. Only the first logged-in user gets any system sounds. Before I go further, am I missing something obvious? Please Cc: me !
