Re: DeaDBeeF problem [SOLVED]

Are you in the audio group? Check with

groups

If not then add yourself to the group log out and back in then try again

Maybe you have something else using the sound device. You can check with

lsof |grep snd

Re: DeaDBeeF problem [SOLVED]

thx for the answer whitethorn but my user is already added to the audio group.
Also

lsof | grep snd

gives me no results :S .. I've searched a lot to fix
this problem and unfortunately i found no solution.

any more ideas ?

Re: DeaDBeeF problem [SOLVED]

Check if ~/.config/deadbeef/socket is owned by root?

Other stabs in the dark:

- look inside the playlist file and/or delete it
- search for socket files owned by root that may have a link to deadbeef and change their owner or delete them (be careful what you delete though...) Hint: "sudo find / -type s"
- get deadbeef's source code, look for the "INFO: unlink socket" message, and see what it's trying to "unlink" (I think it means "delete".)

thx a lot stqn..
actually the problem was that all files in ~/.config/deadbeef were owned by root..
