Re: [linux-audio-user] No state is present for card - Linux-audio-user

Well I fixed the access problem quite easily last night actually. This might 
be a bit distro dependent since not all of them use the devfs, so ymmv. In 
/etc/devfsd.conf add this:

LOOKUP          snd          MODLOAD ACTION snd
LOOKUP          dsp          MODLOAD
LOOKUP          mixer        MODLOAD
LOOKUP          midi         MODLOAD
REGISTER        sound/.*     PERMISSIONS root.audio 660
REGISTER        snd/.*       PERMISSIONS root.audio 660

Which then gives access to the audio group automatically. Add yourself to 
the audio group and you're done. It didn't seem to work with me at first, 
but I just had to log out of my kde session an login again and then it 
worked.

Ah thanks! Well it is working now!!!! I've been struggling with this 
device for a week. First I had to return it to the store because they gave 
me the wrong power supply and probably a defective unit. I'm very glad it 
works now. Except for the fact that I can't use the device as a normal 
user (and yes I am in the audio group) but this is probably so trivial I 
won't bother you with it (yet;-)

I see that too. I'll let the alsa-devel list know. Or Clemens will probably 
read this.

I get this error while normal user which doesn't occur as root.

aplay -f cd -d 10 -D quattro1 test.wav
aplay: main:480: audio open error: Permission denied

Being on stage with the band in front of crowds shouting, "Get off! No! We 
want normal music!", I think that was more like acting than anything I've 
ever done.
