New comment by daniel-eys on void-packages repository https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/20051#issuecomment-598974747 Comment: Because there needs to be a new session such that pam picks up and sets all limits, that's why it's important to re-login after adding a user to the audio group. Have you manually changed `memlock` within `/etc/security/*` perhaps somewhere? Memlock should be set to unlimited for all audio group members.
