Any hints how to easily reproduce? > All I can say is I did some tests with firefox and chromium and I've installed the system many times from zero. Each time I started X thru xenodm and open up a terminal then start to install packages, chromium / firefox first. Then I run other pakages install and started chromium / firefox on youtube to test them. The sound volume was to low so I run sndioctl getting the error message both for firefox / chromium. I was able to modify the volume after closing the browser(s) only - I got the same error message for repeating the command. I cannot reproduce the error now, even on new restart of the system and browsers. Is it helpful to try a new install of the system and look for something? Thanks.
