baudolino Posted October 22, 2003 Report Share Posted October 22, 2003 i installed 9.2 yesterday and alsamixer was not installed by default. here's an alsamixer-free solution to restore the sound: after installation /dev/dsp and /dev/mixer were 2 links whose targets were owned by root, were in the audio group, and had permissions rw-------. as root, i added my username to the audio group and changed the permissions of those 2 target files to rw-rw----. it worked like a charm. you might need to modify the volume using aumix or whatever, cause i heard that the volume is 0 by factory default. just to be clear, you need to change the permissions of the target files at which /dev/dsp and /dev/mixer point, not the permissions of the /dev/dsp or /dev/mixer. (Permissions of a link file are irrelevant, only the permissions of the target file matter.) btw, what exactly alsamixer does? baudo no longer sound deprived Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
