[Eug-lug] Trouble with sound system

[Robert M. Solovay]

Yes. I had three users; call them A, B, C. A was getting sound. I added B 
to the audio group and suddenly both B and C [which had not been getting 
sound before] started getting sound. {And at least on B which I added 
there was a new icon indicating that sound was up and running at the 
display bar at the bottom of the screen.} As I recall, adding B to the 
audio group didn't instantly fix the problem. It took at least two 
distinct rebootings for things to sort themselves out. So I'm still 
somewhat mystified. But definitely, adding users to the audio group is a 
"good thing".
