I ran Pacman -Syu about 2 days ago, and now I noticed that sound doesn-t work (I get a permission denied error) unless I perform as a root a
killall -HUP devfsd
I have already edited my devfsd.conf file as is suggested in the wiki
REGISTER sound/.* PERMISSIONS root.users 660
REGISTER snd/.* PERMISSIONS root.users 660
p.s. Is there some sort of pacman log where I can check what packages were upgraded. My guess is that it had something to do with the filesystem package

sound didn't work for me either... what i did was just fix /etc/group adding the user to the new sound group now called audio.
i don't know if you're experiencing the same problem i had, but maybe you should have a look at /etc/group and see what's new in there.

Unless I misunderstand you...
It could be because your old /etc/udev/permissions.d/udev.permissions file was moved to /etc/udev/permissions.d/udev.permissions.pacsave during the upgrade of udev.
Either move it back or make the changes manually. You can add it as a file that should not be upgraded by adding this to your /etc/pacman.conf
NoUpgrade = etc/udev/permissions.d/udev.permissions
That said, you mentioned that this started happening a few days ago while udev was upgraded today. So I could be totally off!

The pacman log is /var/log/pacman.log

Thank you everyone for your prompt response. What I did is add my username to the audio group and also to change devfsd.conf to
REGISTER sound/.* PERMISSIONS root.audio 660
REGISTER snd/.* PERMISSIONS root.audio 660
Everything worked again.. I just think is odd how it didnt work automatically with my previous setting (when my username belonged to the sound group)
Anyway ..everything is fine now

strange, why'd they change the name of sound group to audio?

There never was an official sound group before. Just what people had written in the wiki
