[Solved] no sound cards detected

after just doing a clean install on my windows pc (to finaly remove it for good yay) my sound does not work. i look under settings and it only shows "dummy output" no other sound devices witch there sould be.

i have tried removing fluidsynth and checked to see if there are any programs using pulseaudio using # fuser -v /dev/snd/*

after reading the pulseaudio wiki on the issue it suggested editing .asoundconf but it was not present on my system, well not in the home folder at least.

i know the sound card works as it worked in windows 7 and arch only 1 hour ago. the only change to my set up is that i am using catalyst as my graphics driver.

other system details
i am using gnome via cdm as catalyst does not work with gdm
64-bit version of arch

thanks in advanced for any help

Re: [Solved] no sound cards detected

Well, let's start with the basics.   What are the outputs of lspci -nn and of aplay -lL  (That is lower case L followed by upper case L)

What do you mean by "Looking under settings"    Is that the gnome control panel, or whatever they call it?

Edit:  Also, what is the output of loginctl show-session 1

Re: [Solved] no sound cards detected

That is weird. 

What is the output of lsmod

What happens if you try aplay /dev/urandom     (CAUTION:  If that works, you will hear loud white noise)  If you don't get any errors, play with the mixer and, if there are any controls, make sure all the volumes are up and are unmuted.  Also, try pavucontrol (you may have to install it) and check the controls for it (try all the tabs)

Re: [Solved] no sound cards detected

I just tried installing KDE to see if that solves the problem (which it did) following that i found that i could still access gnome using KDM and the sound works just fine. this leads me to suppect that cdm-git was the cause of the issue.

Re: [Solved] no sound cards detected

Its definitely cdm-git. Same thing happened to me, and when I uninstalled it, POOF, had sound.
