[SOLVED] Gnome3 + Pulseaudio?

Hey guys,
I've been trying for days to get pulseaudio to work in Gnome3... It doesn't seem to recognize my soundcard. When I run pacman -S gnomemedia-pulse, it asks if I want to replace testing/gnome-media with gnome-media-pulse and testing/gnome-settings-daemon with gnome-settings-daemon-pulse, which are obviously out of date. If I replace it, then booting into Gnome3 gives me a black screen.

If I ignore those 2 packages, I can boot into Gnome3 perfectly, sound just doesn't work

I've got an ASUS Xonar DX. Maybe it's not compatible?

Thanks!

Update:
Woohoo! Guess it wasn't a Gnome3 problem.
sudo modprobe snd-virtuoso got it working.

Uhm... you don't need gnome-media-pulse (which is in extra).  Just gnome-media from testing.

Thanks for the quick reply.

I removed gnome-media-pulse and have gnome-media installed and running. When I go to System>Sound Settings>Hardware, there are no devices listed...
