Basically, certain "types" of users would expect sound to work if they are using the computer. When using Ubuntu's User Management GUI, you can specify a user as "Administrator, Desktop User, or a guest. I'm guessing if you create a test user who with the "Desktop User Profile" they will be added to the audio group. I tried testing this theory, but the tool blew away my groups file (seems to have been trying to write it at least) and I had to reboot into recovery mode to restore the file. I don't feel like testing that again. -Rob -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
