I have been on the troubleshooting page for pulseaudio, but to no avail. I am running the arch 2015.09.01 release (UEFI using kernel EFI if that matters) with Enlightenment WM 0.19.5-1. The sound card is built into a Gigabyte z87n-wifi motherboard with sound being ported through the HDMI output. The default Audio Mixer for Enightenment recognizes the different output devices and the log shows that pulseaudio has been started. The system was previously running on a stock Ubuntu distro. Any help would be greatly appreciated. This is my first true attempt at an arch linux build, but i do have some experience (however small) with manipulating linux systems. I give some outputs to the commands that the pulseaudio sight suggests. I am also interested in knowing what the default Audio Mixer is called for Enlightenment. I have looked on their page and I have even done a pacman search on installed packages to try and determine this without any luck. Am I looking in the wrong place or in the wrong way?
EDIT: sound does go through the standard 2.5mm output but not the HDMI even after changing the default device to HDMI.

I even tried paplay file.wav and it proccessed the file but no sound.

SOLVED: tried the HDMI fix found here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pu … o/Examples
I was able to manually output the sound using aplay -l to find the device
The only change I'd make to the wiki if i could would be to do a reboot after making the change in "/etc/pulse/default.pa" rather then kill and start pulseaudio. The Audio Mixer that comes with Enlightenment doesn't take to it well. That may just be an Enlightenment issue though. The file default.pa notates that it is not recommended to manually load devices, but in my case audio still works out other sources as well.
EDIT: I wan't getting any sound to go out the HDMI from a web browser so i commented out the lines that auto-detect devices. I don't recommend this if you use different output devices for different reasons. In my case I only use HDMI on this machine, so it doesn't cause any problems for me.
