[arch-general] No sound after hal update
I just updated to hal 0.5.13-3 and after rebooting the soundcard is not accessible to non-root users anymore, so there is no sound. Any idea how to solve this? Thanks

ALSA or OSS? If it is ALSA try to reconfigure it. That should work. -- Best, Jozsef Kurucity | Web & Graphic Designer +971 50 6783113 | jozefk@gmx.com

Hal used to do ACL management, just like udev does. The new release of hal has ACL management disabled, as it conflicts with udev. However, udev seems to be incompatible with ConsoleKit 0.4.1 and needs a patch to integrate correctly. There's a patch for udev to fix this: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/hotplug/udev.git;a=commit;h=bded570432d7017c4... In the meanwhile, you could gain access to the audio devices by adding yourself to the audio group. This is the old method used in Archlinux before ACL management was integrated into udev and/or hal.
