[Bug 48545] Re: gnome-sound-properties empty "Default sound card:" list

[Peter Dietz]

I had the same problem of no indication of a default sound card in the
"Sound Preferences" menu.  I solved this by adding the name of the
current user to the list of users in the audio group, in the file
"/etc/group".  Suggestion: should this not be done automatically when
adding new users with "useradd"?
