I've set

When I tried using kmix, it is showing up as there being no audio mixers
at all.
What files do I need to alter on /dev so that any user has access to
them?
Currently, /dev/mixer is set as crw------- 1 paul root 14, 0
/dev/mixer0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 5 ->mixer
/dev/mixer1 crw 1 paul root 14,16
I imagine I need to set /dev/mixer & /dev/mixer1 to be chown root.root
and chmod 777 on it.
It looks like you are on the right track. The permanent solution I use
is to create a new group "sound", and add any users needing access to
audio hardware to the new group. Then, in /etc/security/console.perms,
edit sound class permissions as follows:
<console> 0660 <sound> 0660 root.sound
This will allow all users in group "sound" to access all audio devices
(as defined in the upper portion of /etc/security/console.perms) on each
subsequent reboot.
