Re: [arch-general] No sound after hal update
Also, make sure your user is a member of the group 'audio'? If you're still having problems then run ls -l /dev/snd and show us the output On Tue, Nov 10, 2009 at 5:54 AM, Jozsef <jozefk@gmx.com> wrote:

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

Have you tried running pulseaudio as a daemon? e.g. "/etc/rc.d/pulseaudio start' This would likely be a fix for now... OR If you're feeling daring, then maybe try out this udev-acl package I just put up on AUR. I have no idea if it will work, I just threw it together with the patch that was provided, and I'm not on an Arch box right now so I can't test it. I figured it would be interesting to see if this solved the problem though. http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=31904 I think the default way of starting pulse has become dependent on consolekit & policykit ever since the pulse user was removed.

Never mind about that package on AUR, I can't get it to build. On Tue, Nov 10, 2009 at 12:11 PM, Christopher Daley <crdaley@gmail.com>wrote:

If you (like me) don't like all this kiddy stuff, both are easy to disable. For Consolekit, just remove or rename the daemon binary (/usr/sbin/console-kit-daemon), you will then have 63 useless threads less. For Policykit, edit the config file /etc/PolicyKit/PolicyKit.conf, and remove everything between <config ...> and </config>. Ciao, -- FA Io lo dico sempre: l'Italia è troppo stretta e lunga.

Hello, my sound card did not work after hal update. I added the user to the audio group and now it works. Thanks for the help! Bye Lars
