Sometime on Aug 9, Sameer Sahasrabuddhe assembled some asciibets to say:
I was able to use aumix with my root login. But as a normal user, aumix says "error opening mixer"
Two or three options:
1. chown /dev/mixer to you 2. chmod a+rw /dev/mixer (ok if only your family uses the pc) 3. fool around with /etc/security/console.perms to change ownership of /dev/mixer to the person logged in to the console.
3 is the best as long as only one person logs into the console at a time. Too often I log in as different users on different ttys.
