Upgrade to udev 177-3 caused sound issue

My upgrade to udev 177-3 resulted in sound issue. Now during kernel load as soon as udev loads it blacks out the screen for a few sec and then a I hear click noise in right speaker and and after udev is loaded I continuously get a hissing noise in one of the speaker(right). I have tried removing snd_hda_intel module and reinstalling module but it does not change anything. Interesting thing is the speaker that has the noise works when I play something. volume in the other speaker is very low and almost I can't hear anything on that. This is happening from early morning today after I upgraded to udev 177-3. Anybody experienced similarr issue or know how to solve this?

Although the upgrade went through without any error, I see following errors in errors.log

Re: Upgrade to udev 177-3 caused sound issue

Did you rebuild the initrd image after installing udev?

# mkinitcpio -p linux

Re: Upgrade to udev 177-3 caused sound issue

uograded to udev 178 and kernel 3.2.1-2 but I still hear noise in one speaker and no sound on the other speaker of headphone. Noise starts at the time of udev load during kernel load. Looked through many postings of forum but could not make any progress. Uninstalled pulseaudio, unloaded snd_hda_intel and reloaded but it did not make any difference... any ideas or direction?

here are the details:

Re: Upgrade to udev 177-3 caused sound issue

i also had issues with latest udev, kmod upgrade. It stopped detecting my soundcard and system booting became slow, sometimes it just gets stuck while booting. I referred to approach followed by some users in other forums - to downgrade udev,kmod and makeinitcpio packages. Now everything is fine..Just a workaround for now ..not sure what needs to be done for the permanent fix
