Hi,
I am running Arch Linux kernel version 3.8.7-1 x86_64 on my Dell XPS 15 L501X laptop (NVIDIA GT435M graphics card). I did a fresh install a few days ago, and since the install, there has been no sound. And of course, there is no sound from the HDMI module either.
To be sure, there is no sound in the console (text) mode and no sound in KDE either.
So I followed the steps detailed in the Alsa wiki (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ad … chitecture).
alsamixer
Confirmed that the master channel is not muted. Also did
amixer sset Master unmute
speaker-test doesn't return any errors, but doesn't play any sound either:
[vivek@farpoint ~]$ speaker-test -c 2
speaker-test 1.0.27
Playback device is default
Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 2 channels

Following a post on the forums, I configured my default sound card using the following ~/.asoundrc
[vivek@farpoint ~]$ more ~/.asoundrc
pcm.!default {
type hw
card 0
}
ctl.!default {
type hw
card 0
}

I don't see what's wrong. I'd appreciate help and suggestions.
Thanks in advance!

Any ideas, anyone?
