I have a strange situation regarding volume. User cannot change the volume with certain applications, but they can with others. For example, users can change the volume with gmix, but not with the gnome mixer applet. Also, users can change the volume with realplayer, but not with freeamp. My user account is a member of the "audio" group, and here is what /dev/mixer looks like:
crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 0 Mar 5 14:18 /dev/mixer This seems like strange behavior. If it were more consistent, I wouldn't think it is so strange. But it seems like gmix and the gnome mixer applet should behave similarly. Any ideas/suggestions? Thanks. -- Brian J.
