Permission problems

Hi Arch community,

i have problems with the permissions. i run the following commands :

chown -R root.audio /dev/sound
chmod 770 /dev/sound
chmod 660 /dev/sound/*

so my sound would work. i have all needed modules in /dev/sound/  but when i restart my comp, i get the error from GNOME, "Can't open /dev/sound/mixer"

after reboot i don't access & permission rights to the directory /dev/sound . any other suggestions?

# Allow access to sound devices for group "audio"
REGISTER ^sound/.* PERMISSIONS root.audio 0660
REGISTER ^snd/.* PERMISSIONS root.audio 0660

i also added myself to the group audio. so i have no clue what else to try.

any help would be appreciated. Thanks a lot, Shemeta

I would just change that to:

REGISTER ^sound/.* PERMISSIONS root.users 0660
REGISTER ^snd/.* PERMISSIONS root.users 0660
