A "touch /.autorelabel ; reboot" fixed this :))


Now I'm used to login on the console and to run "startx & logout", and
when I do that, I don't have sound in the X-session.  When I only do
"startx &" without logging out, I do have sound.

Is there a way to fix that so that I can still have sound in the
X-session while I'm logged out from the console?
