Hello,
I have the problem, that only flash is able to play sound. VLC and MPlayer can't. When i try to play sound with VLC after a fresh reboot no sound is played, but afterwards Youtube&Co can produce sound in Chromium.
VLC gives following error:
Please update alsa-lib to version 1.0.23-2-g8d80d5f or higher to try to fix this issue.
I'm having 64-bit Architecture and installed following alsa components:
$ pacman -Q | grep alsa
alsa-firmware 1.0.23-1
alsa-lib 1.0.23-1
alsa-oss 1.0.17-1
alsa-plugins 1.0.23-1
alsa-utils 1.0.23-2
lib32-alsa-lib 1.0.23-2
lib32-alsa-plugins 1.0.23-2
pulseaudio-alsa 1-1
Content of /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf :
# /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf (for v2.6 kernels)
options snd_hda_intel index=0
options snd-pcsp index=1
My Modules:
MOD_AUTOLOAD="yes"
#MOD_BLACKLIST=() #deprecated
MODULES=(snd-mixer-oss snd-hwdep snd snd-page-alloc snd-pcm snd-timer snd-hda-codec snd-hda-intel soundcore !snd-pcsp)
I also got alsa in daemons. (Backgrounded --> @alsa)
If you need more Information, tell me what and i will post it.
P.S. : Sound worked with no Problems since I installed Arch.

Has this issue been solved yet?
I am having a similar problem: It has to do with sound from flash videos in Chrome: after leaving chrome open for a few hours, the sound stops working from all Flash across a multitude of sites. The only way to currently fix is: restart the browser, or to open Chrome's task manager, close the tab (s) with flash open, and then kill the flash process.

Are you a part of the audio group? Something similar actually happened to me once (on FreeBSD) where I was able to play sound in the browser but not any applications, so I added myself to the audio group and it seemed to work.
# gpasswd -a user audio
Then log out and log back in
If that doesn't work then I suspect a pulseaudio issue.

I am having the exact issue as Scotty with chromium and flash sound. It works when restarted but after a couple hours it stops working and/or stutters. I am on chromium-dev from AUR.

Sorry it took awhile to get back on this. It appears to be a bug in Chromium related to a memory leak.
The bug on Google's site and details here: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issue … l?id=27277
To fix it without having to restart your browser:
Press Shift+Escape. Scroll down to the bottom. Click on the Flash plugin. Click end process. Reload any tabs/pages open with Flash. Problem solved.
