As you can see my kernel modules were correctly loaded at boot time:
$ lspci | grep Audio
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation N10/ICH 7 Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02)
$ cat /proc/asound/modules
0 snd_hda_intel
But if I try to set things up, alsamixer complains about not being able to connect to some PulseAudio thing:
$ alsamixer
ALSA lib pulse.c:229:(pulse_connect) PulseAudio: Unable to connect: Connection refused
cannot open mixer: Connection refused
If I try to play some sound back, I get this:
$ speaker-test -c 2
speaker-test 1.0.24.2
Playback device is default
Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 2 channels
Using 16 octaves of pink noise
ALSA lib pulse.c:229:(pulse_connect) PulseAudio: Unable to connect: Connection refused
Playback open error: -111,Connection refused
Can someone explain to me what's missing here? I didn't see any relevant reference to pulseaudio on the wiki...

By setting things up, do you mean going straight to alsamixer after the modules are loaded? I would run "alsaconf" first. If the problem continues (and you don't want to start a pulseaudio server like it's trying to get you to do), try removing references to pulse in /etc/asound.conf.

Great things come in tar.xz packages.

Alsaconf does not find my card. It complains that it can't find any PCI or PnP cards on my system, even though I have the snd-hda-intel card which is PCI. So I don't bother searching for ISA cards because I know that's not for me (the list came up with various soundblasters and stuff like that.)
Starting the PulseAudio doodad gives me the following error:
$ pulseaudio --start
E: [pulseaudio] main.c: Daemon startup failed.

alsaconf is useless. Arch should follow Debian and just remove it, to stop people from thinking that it's useful.
