Title: HowTo: Enable sound for concurrent user accounts
Description: Enable sound for all logged in accounts

Scenario:


You first log in to KDE with user1. When you leave your desktop a second user wants to utilize the computer and logs in with a user2. This second user does not get access to the mixer and therefore has no sound because it is blocked by user1.

Solution:


1. Make all users that will log in to the system part of group audio. This can be done via YAST.

2. Get root status to be able to edit files.

3. Open the file /etc/logindevperm. This file sets all the /dev permissions upon login.
In this file the should be a line similar to this
:0 0600 /dev/dsp:/dev/dsp0:/dev/dsp1:/dev/dsp2:/dev/dsp3


Now comment this line and add a line looking like this
:0 0660 /dev/dsp:/dev/dsp0:/dev/dsp1:/dev/dsp2:/dev/dsp3


By changing 0600 to 0660 the audio group will gain access to /dev/dsp at the same time no matter who logs in first.
