I just installed archlinux, and everything is working except for the sound. I unmuted everything in alsamixer, and according to pavucontrol there is sound from the correct sound card. However, I hear nothing.
Help

You missed the last line with amixer, correct your post and append that part. Which card is supposed to be default? The Xonar?
Offline
That was the last line; the script hangs after that. Xonar is supposed to be the default.

Then you copied/pasted it incorrectly*.

Disable all IEC958s, Auto-Mute and switch Analog Output to Multichannel:
amixer -c DG sset 'Analog Output' Multichannel
amixer -c DG sset 'IEC958' off
amixer -c DG sset 'IEC958 Loopback' off
amixer -c PCH sset 'IEC958' off
amixer -c PCH sset 'IEC958 Default PCM' off
amixer -c PCH sset 'Auto-Mute Mode' Disabled
amixer -c NVidia sset 'IEC958' offThen run multiple instances of speaker-test at once.
# at least two of those
speaker-test -c 2 -t wav -D plug:"dmix:{CARD DG DEV 0}"
# afterwards two of those
speaker-test -c 2 -t wav -D plug:"dmix:{CARD PCH DEV 0}"
# run
fuser -v /dev/snd/*
# while testing to see if only pusleaudio is activeYou probably want also to unload and disable module suspend-on-idle like explained on the arch linux pulseaudio wiki. Remember that pulseaudio-alsa package needs to be installed, so that all sound directed to alsa goes through pulseaudio.

Sound now works, but there seems to be no way to control the volume.
Running
speaker-test -c 2 -t wav -D plug:"dmix:{CARD DG DEV 0}" just gives this ouput:
speaker-test 1.0.28
Playback device is plug:dmix:{CARD DG DEV 0}
Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 2 channels
WAV file(s)
ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1022:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave
Playback open error: -16,Device or resource busyThe second one works normally, except there is no sound even though there is sound for everything else.
The output of fuser -v /dev/snd/* is:

Then run simply 'speaker-test', it should show up in PA. PA should have been killed for the above tests and since speaker-test addresses the dmix directly through runtime arguments, it has no volume controls.
If pulseaudio-alsa is installed and the module disabled, which you have done from the looks of fuser, then every sound should go through PA, unless alsa devices are directly specified. Should you consider this issue solved, then please mark the thread as such.

I meant that there is no volume control for any sound; I can only play sound at the maximum volume, which is deafeningly loud. Neither alsamixer nor pavucontrol affect the volume.
Offline
What applications are you using/testing? try something pulseaudio specific.
Offline
The volume can't be controlled in google chrome, deadbeef, and the sound effects for gnome.
Offline
Are there any applications, where it can be controlled?
Offline
I can only use the built in volume control, such as for youtube or deadbeef, but that's it. Anything without built in volume control doesn't work.
Offline
I meant within PA. Maybe there have been recent changes in PA, I suggest you go through the troubleshooting section of PA wiki.
Offline
I think that the volume control actually works, but it's scaled very strangely so that the only under maximum is when the slider is a pixel away from 0. Is there any way to change the scale of the volume control?

Since I do not use PA anymore, I cannot test what I found:
# edit /usr/share/pulseaudio/alsa-mixer/paths/analog-output.conf.common
[Element PCM]
switch = mute
volume = merge
#change to
[Element PCM]
switch = mute
volume = ignoreMaybe you will find something useful on the modules documentation page.
Edit: I doubt that flat volumes will help.

That didn't work, but lack of volume control isn't that big of a deal because most applications have it built in.
I'll just mark the thread as solved.

If you do not use Pulseaudios networking capabilities, then what is the point in using PA in the first place in your case? I would mark it as semi solved, maybe someone knows how to troubleshoot and modify the volume issue.
