[SOLVED] EeePC 1001PXD, ALSA - no sound after installation

After Installation I Installed first Pulseaudio, then ALSA, but still I have no sound. Arch is up to date. I checked sound in Mint, so it isn't hardware problem.

Drivers seem to be ok, I also unmuted all channels in alsamixer. speaker-test doesn't produce any noise. I have no idea why it doesn't work. Help, please.

Re: [SOLVED] EeePC 1001PXD, ALSA - no sound after installation

It looks like I have similar issue to http://superuser.com/questions/379964/a … ot-working.
ALSA works with linux-lts kernel, while doesn't work with current 3.5.3-1 kernel from Arch repo.

Edit:
Now ALSA works also under 3.5.3-1 kernel. Here's what helped:

alsactl init
