[SOLVED] Pulseaudio only showing "dummy output" device.
by arfon from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4YFK1)
I just did a 14.2 update (with slackpkg) and after the update, audio quit working. I checked the mixer and only "dummy output" and "dummy input" devices were there.
I logged in as root and ran pavucontrol and it had the normal audio devices...
After some investigating, apparently the update removed my user from all groups except "users". I added my user back to:
Code:usermod -a -G lp,wheel,floppy,dialout,audio,video,cdrom,plugdev,power,netdev,scanner userand pulseaudio was fine after that.
