EASY FIX: Are all users in the right group?

HARDER FIX:

Does it work if you power down the system before the new user logs in?

I have an issue with my LTSP install that goes like this:

  A) User 1 logs in -- Sound is OK
  B) User 1 logs out

             |
     ------------------------  
     |                      |
User 2 logs in           User 1 logs in again
     |                      |
   No Sound               Sound


Powering down and giving the user a "clean" login away works.

I have tried and tried to fix it, but spent more time then it was worth
to me. So now I just live with it.

If this is your case, search the K12LTSP and the LTSP lists for my email
address to see what others suggested.
