No sound after upgrade!!

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

Re: No sound after upgrade!!

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.

Re: No sound after upgrade!!

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. smile  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)
roll

Anyway ..everything is fine now big_smile

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