why new udev doesnt have audio rules ?

it's possible to create a group audio with own /dev/ sound devices ?


something like this


# audio devices
KERNEL=="dsp*",		GROUP="audio",	MODE="0660"
KERNEL=="audio*",	GROUP="audio",	MODE="0660"
KERNEL=="midi*",	GROUP="audio",	MODE="0660"

hi 
I have found the file /etc/udev/rules.d/40-alsa.rules and I have changed to this

# do not edit this file, it will be overwritten on update

KERNEL=="controlC[0-9]*",       NAME="snd/%k",          GROUP="audio",  MODE="0660"
KERNEL=="hwC[D0-9]*",           NAME="snd/%k",          GROUP="audio",  MODE="0660"

KERNEL=="timer",                NAME="snd/%k",          GROUP="audio",  MODE="0660"
KERNEL=="seq",                  NAME="snd/%k",          GROUP="audio",  MODE="0660"

KERNEL=="audio0",               SYMLINK+="audio",       GROUP="audio",  MODE="0660"

after this change I have created the audio group and added my user to this
group, after a reboot my sound is working fine, including to talk with skype.


will you accept my suggestions ?
Comment 3 Itamar Reis Peixoto 2007-10-20 01:44:00 UTC 
If you accept the audio/sound group need to be added on setup rpm package;
Comment 4 Harald Hoyer 2007-10-21 06:40:08 UTC 
ConsoleKit gives you read/write access just fine to all these audio devices.
