XFCE4 Sound and opening JARS

Sup, I need some help with sound.

Sound seems to work in XFCE4 when I use root, but when I use my main, it doesn't work. I did all that goodness with gpasswd -a yourusername audio, but it didn't work.

lspci gives me this:

00:00.0 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] RS880 Host Bridge
00:01.0 PCI bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] RS780/RS880 PCI to PCI bridge (int gfx)
00:04.0 PCI bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] RS780 PCI to PCI bridge (PCIE port 0)
00:05.0 PCI bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] RS780 PCI to PCI bridge (PCIE port 1)
00:06.0 PCI bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] RS780 PCI to PCI bridge (PCIE port 2)
00:11.0 SATA controller: ATI Technologies Inc SB7x0/SB8x0/SB9x0 SATA Controller [IDE mode]

00:12.1 USB Controller: ATI Technologies Inc SB7x0 USB OHCI1 Controller
00:12.2 USB Controller: ATI Technologies Inc SB7x0/SB8x0/SB9x0 USB EHCI Controller
00:13.0 USB Controller: ATI Technologies Inc SB7x0/SB8x0/SB9x0 USB OHCI0 Controller
00:13.1 USB Controller: ATI Technologies Inc SB7x0 USB OHCI1 Controller

00:18.2 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] Family 10h Processor DRAM Controller
00:18.3 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] Family 10h Processor Miscellaneous Control
00:18.4 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] Family 10h Processor Link Control
01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc M860G [Mobility Radeon 4100]
02:00.0 Network controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8187SE Wireless LAN Controller (rev 22)
03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8101E/RTL8102E PCI Express Fast Ethernet controller (rev 02)

And now the other issue:
So, I have minecraft, I can open it with java, but I wanted to install some mods, and in order to do that, I need a program for arch that opens the jar file and edit it and not spit it out like unzip does. (The mod is Optifine if you were wondering!)

I don't always get greeted by my Linux laptop, but when I do, it says 'su -p'

Re: XFCE4 Sound and opening JARS

Just to clarify, you have no sound at all (besides root login) or it always starts muted?

If the second case:

#alsamixer

Un-mute required channels and set default volume level

#alsactrl -f /var/lib/alsa/asound.state store

Save the default levels you just set.

Finally, start alsa on boot, so the default levels you just saved are restored, by adding alsa to your daemons in rc.conf

If the first case, check the wiki for troubleshooting info https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ad … chitecture

Cheers.
