[Solved] PulseAudio can't find card "by this name or index"

I recently reinstalled my Arch Linux because my old system was broken. Today, I installed PulseAudio and "sync'd" the conf files from ~/.pulse into /etc/pulse. But, it doesn't work.

pulseaudio -vvvvvvvvvv:

I: [pulseaudio] client.c: Created 0 "Login Session 1"

I: [pulseaudio] module.c: Loaded "module-systemd-login" (index: #22; argument: "").

aplay -l:

**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: MID [HDA Intel MID], device 0: ALC272X Analog [ALC272X Analog]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

cat /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf:

options snd-hda-intel model=acer probe_mask=1

I tried to remove ~/.pulse and .config/pulse, but it still doesn't work.

Is someone has same problem with me? And how do I fix it? Thanks.

Re: [Solved] PulseAudio can't find card "by this name or index"

However: I solved it by myself. It happens because I loaded the audio drivers statically in /etc/pulse/default.pa
