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 wrote:

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.

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

I'm having the same problem as OP. Re-configuring fails:

Any ideas of how to get my sound back?

First, it's not recommended to run pulseaudio in system mode. Second it fails: Nov 11 08:35:27 bryma pulseaudio[19871]: main.c: Running in system mode, but --disallow-exit not set!

I noticed there's a new HAL package available, I'll upgrade to see if things improve. /M -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus＠therning．org Jabber: magnus＠therning．org http://therning.org/magnus identi.ca|twitter: magthe
