[alsa-devel] snd_hwdep_open() as non-root user

[Rafal Powierski]

Thank you Clemens,
sudo setcap cap_sys_rawio... solves the problem :)
I only need to ad it to the qt build or to the app itself.
Best Regards,
Rafal

sound/pci/hda/hda_hwdep.c says:

static int hda_hwdep_open(struct snd_hwdep *hw, struct file *file)
{
#ifndef CONFIG_SND_DEBUG_VERBOSE
if (!capable(CAP_SYS_RAWIO))
return -EACCES;
#endif
return 0;
}
