]]>sound is playing in kde, at least, as long as it's a .wav file. The sound files I was trying to play earlier were .ogg files.
Humorously, the way I figured this out was when k3b finished burning a DVD and sounded the bugle-charge at an annoyingly loud volume.
]]>make sure you're not starting hotplug (sometimes it gets sound modules wrong... like on my laptop).
also, pacman -S hwd and run it to see what sound module it detects.
did you run alsaconf - it puts some lines in your modprobe.conf file needed for oss emulation?
after trying this stuff, reboot to get a clean start (or just attempt to rmmod all the modules related to sound)

I'm using KDE as my window manager and can't get sound to play inside KDE.
I've followed the wiki on alsa setup and aplay causes sound output when I'm outside X
When I run the Control Center | Sound & Multimedia | Sound System and try to change my audio device I get a SIGSEGV error in KNotify.
any ideas?
