Gnome3 / Pulseaudio sound problem FIXED

Hello,

I can't get sound working. I can see that the mic capts sounds but nothing more.

My sound card appears in alsamixer and with lsmod|grep snd

snd_seq_dummy           1455  0 
snd_seq_oss            28052  0 
snd_seq_midi_event      5332  1 snd_seq_oss
snd_seq                48705  5 snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi_event
snd_seq_device          5100  3 snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq
snd_hda_codec_idt      55117  1 
snd_pcm_oss            37890  0 
snd_mixer_oss          14851  1 snd_pcm_oss
snd_hda_intel          21738  2 
snd_hda_codec          73739  2 snd_hda_codec_idt,snd_hda_intel
snd_hwdep               6134  1 snd_hda_codec
snd_pcm                71032  3 snd_pcm_oss,snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec
snd_timer              18992  2 snd_seq,snd_pcm
snd                    55132  15 snd_seq_oss,snd_seq,snd_seq_device,snd_hda_codec_idt,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec,snd_hwdep,snd_pcm,snd_timer
soundcore               5986  1 snd
snd_page_alloc          7017  2 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm

cat /proc/asound/modules :

0 snd_hda_intel

If anyone has an ideal it would be cool...

I have to admit I'm a bit annoyed that Pulse Audio has to be installed to use Gnome 3... That was the main thing that drove me away from ubuntu. I've ran my Arch machines for over a year with no pulse, and I really don't see the use for it. This is the one thing that is making me consider not using Gnome 3.

How did you fix it exactly? My audio was working fine, but now after a reboot I don't have any sound anymore. All I get are random pops. I've done everything in the PulseAudio arch wiki, and I've run out of ideas to be honest.

... and it's working again now. This seems to be completely random, because I needed several reboots to get it working again.

... and it's gone again. This is pretty retarded

Have a look at your card model. It can appear that you need special options in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf such as

options snd-hda-intel model=some_model

Have a look exactly at your card model and browse on the net which model= fits the best.

I fixed this problem by modifying the setting on System Tools/System Settings/Sound/Output

Arch Linux
