sound and second x session

Hi, everyone. I hope this is the right place to post this.

I sometimes invoke a second x session by doing ctrl+alt+F1, logging in, and then startx -- :1

For some reason I don't have any sound when I do this. Do any of you have any idea why this might be? I have sound set up so that multiple sound sources can be software mixed, and that works fine.

I'm pretty sure this is a ConsoleKit issue, since my primary x session uses gdm, but I'm looking for a work around.

Not using gdm isn't really an option because I couldn't figure out how to get user shutdown privileges set. Enabling gdm was the only way I could log in as a regular user and still shut down the system.

Re: sound and second x session

Sounds like a regular 'sound server uses sound card alone' issue. You probably have to move a layer down to get sound in your second X session. Which DE are you using and how exactly have you set up the sound there?
