Curious Sound Issue in 10.2

[warrion_2000]

I encountered this error when I installed openSUSE 10.2. You are able to hear sounds while logged in as root, but if you log in as a regular user, the audio checkbox in the security---group management tab is not checked.

This is something that I've encountered in 10.2 for the first time, any ideas as to why audio privilege would be disabled?

if you log in as a regular user, the audio checkbox in the security---group management tab is not checked.

I am not sure I understand the details of the probem? Is the regular user a member of the audio group? If not, make them a member.

I have read with SuSE-10.2 that a number of users with "sound blaster" hardware, had a problem where openSUSE did not make the users a member of the audio group, which caused them sound problems as a regular user. This was fixed by adding the regular users to the audio group. This can be done under YaST.
