No sound [Solved]

Hi,
i have problem with sound input & output, gnome environment shows "dummy output".
when typing in terminal :
                                       

 $ systemctl start/enable oss 
$ osstest

i have sound, only from terminal in this case, but still nothing in gnome.

$ aplay -l :
aplay: device_list:268: no soundcards found...

$ aplay -:
 Discard all samples (playback) or generate zero samples (capture)
                             pulse
                             PulseAudio Sound Server
                             default
                             Default ALSA Output (currently PulseAudio Sound Server)
                          

please advice me here guys,
tnx.

Re: No sound [Solved]

You appear to be trying to run OSS ( https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Open_Sound_System ) as a service and then are using ALSA ( https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ad … chitecture ) commands.

There is some basic sound info at...
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sound_system

I'd guess that most people use ALSA along with PulseAudio, so why not use that?
