Hello.
After a fresh install, my sound was working just fine. Now, I'm not quite sure when the sound stopped working as I wasn't using it much during a stretch of time there, but at this point I've got nothing.
Here are a few things that I know:
- the volume up/down function keys seem to be adjusting the volume (even though I can't hear anything) and when I do adjust it the volume level indicator pops up and moves around accordingly.
- alsamixer shows all adjustable volumes at full
- lsmod shows that thinkpad_acpi is loaded (not sure how relevant this is, but I saw someone else on another thread mention it was important with something to do with sound so I figured I'd share it).
Here's my card info:
[jeremy@arch ~]$ sudo lspci | grep Audio
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 04)Thanks for any suggestions!

Hi. Same thing happened to me. But I'm pretty sure that my problem happened right after an upgrade. In my /var/log/pacman.log file I have the following
[2011-12-05 13:34] Running OSS update script...
[2011-12-05 13:34]
[2011-12-05 13:34] -------------------------------------------------------------
[2011-12-05 13:34] Open Sound System was updated. Now you should restart the
[2011-12-05 13:34] daemon by running /etc/rc.d/oss restart.
[2011-12-05 13:34]
[2011-12-05 13:34] Please note that OSS stores some of its configuration files
[2011-12-05 13:34] at /usr/lib/oss. If you are upgrading from an older OSS
[2011-12-05 13:34] release and it doesn't work properly, try removing that
[2011-12-05 13:34] directory and reinstall this package.
[2011-12-05 13:34] -------------------------------------------------------------
[2011-12-05 13:34] upgraded oss (4.2_2005-1 -> 4.2_2005-2)I don't really know what I'm talking about, but I'm guessing that the OSS script messed something up. I did as pacman said and removed oss and reinstalled it, but no luck. As far as I know, I'm using ALSA for sound.
Anyway, I wish I offer some help, but I'm really here asking for help.

Is every application affected or is it just KDE?
I've had an issue with KDE not playing any sound whereas sound in other applications such as mplayer or audacity worked just fine.
This was caused by bad timing in updating (i.e. phonen was already upgraded but it seems my mirror had still an old version of kdelibs when I upgraded)
This is the thread I opened then: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=129294
After installing upgrades today I seem to have run into a similar problem - sound in other application works, just KDE remains silent.

In my case I'm using XFCE
