How did you give yourself permissions to access /dev/mixer (or ALSA equivalent)? If you just made it world writable, did you remember to do this for /dev/mixer (which controls who can change the volumes) too? The "Debian Way" of doing this is to add yourself to the "audio" group, which will give you all the permissions you need, with no fiddling. -- Rob Weir <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Do I look like I want a CC?
