| It is generally good practice to have an ''audio'' group, and add any users that should be allowed to perform audio tasks to this group. This prevents some interference from non-audio-processes with audio tasks. To verify you're in the ''audio'' group, run the ''groups'' command. Remember, after adding yourself to new groups, you need to log out and back in again. Be careful when adding an ''audio'' group to your system: most systems come with a pre-configured ''audio'' group, and do not warn you when you add another group with the same name, leading to much confusion. When using Arch Linux the above is valid too except that Arch uses a different group name, i.e. ''realtime''((https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Realtime_process_management#Configuring_PAM)). | It is generally good practice to have an ''audio'' group, and add any users that should be allowed to perform audio tasks to this group.
