[SOLVED] No sound (GNOME, PulseAudio, ALSA) HDA INTEL

So, I was researching all the day, but I can't get solution to this problem, I have no sound.

Useful information:

1. Just installed Arch Linux on my PC (not a laptop).
2. I'm on a GNOME Desktop Enviroment with PulseAudio and ALSA.
3. I installed pavucontrol too.
4. When I reproduce a .wav file, pavucontrol shows bar moving, but obviously not sound.
5. My port for output devices is showed as "Digital Output S /PDIF".
6. I unmute everything with alsamixer, still no sound.

Some outputs:

When I execute

I obtain this and no sound:

Otherwise, whe I execute this (based on ALSA ArchWiki and results from aplay -L

speaker-test -D sysdefault:Intel -c 2

I obtain this:

➜  ~ speaker-test -D sysdefault:Intel -c 2

speaker-test 1.1.3

was set buffer_size = 16384
 0 - Front Left
^CWrite error: -4,Llamada al sistema interrumpida
xrun_recovery failed: -4,Llamada al sistema interrumpida
Transfer failed: Llamada al sistema interrumpida

And my speakers make noise.

My /etc/asound.conf looks like this:

# Use PulseAudio by default
pcm.!default {
  type pulse
  fallback "sysdefault"
  hint {
    show on
    description "Default ALSA Output (currently PulseAudio Sound Server)"
  }
}

ctl.!default {
  type pulse
  fallback "sysdefault"
}

# vim:set ft=alsaconf:

So, if speaker-test command make noise with sysdefault, and pulseaudio by default fallbacks on sysdefault, why my sound still no working?

➜  Descargas aplay -D default LRMonoPhase4.wav 
Playing WAVE 'LRMonoPhase4.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 48000 Hz, Stereo
^CAborted by signal Interrupción...
aplay: pcm_write:2011: write error: Llamada al sistema interrumpida

When I try the command above, no sound, but with command below I get sound and I can listen the .wav file.

➜  Descargas aplay -D sysdefault:Intel LRMonoPhase4.wav
Playing WAVE 'LRMonoPhase4.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 48000 Hz, Stereo

Can someone help me , please?

Re: [SOLVED] No sound (GNOME, PulseAudio, ALSA) HDA INTEL

this is my .asoundrc:

#grab everything and direct to pulseaudio
pcm.pulse {
    type pulse
}
ctl.pulse {
    type pulse
}
pcm.!default {
    type pulse
}
ctl.!default {
    type pulse
}

I don't know much about the changes that came with newer pulseaudio, but have you tried to set the default output with pavucontrol?

All is on default, I'm just wondering if I can select sysdefault instead default.

Re: [SOLVED] No sound (GNOME, PulseAudio, ALSA) HDA INTEL

@Lans9831  Try this : change default output from "Digital Output S /PDIF" to "built-in-audio Analog Stereo" in pavucontrol if you are not using S/PDIF  port on PC,
You could also try and create file /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
in it put only this one line

options snd slots=snd-hda-intel,snd-usb-audio

Save & reboot, let us know how it goes.

Do the first line of cirrus answer, the other part you can do and might be a good idea but is going to be irrelevant. Currently your output is set to SPDIF switch that over (in the "Configuration", the last tab, in pavucontrol)

I solved the problem, research on Arch Wiki and found this article:

Re: [SOLVED] No sound (GNOME, PulseAudio, ALSA) HDA INTEL

Thats.. a suboptimal workaround to a non existing problem in your case. But whatever floats your boat, you will have to manually adjust that if you intend to use upmixing or the like which pulse would provide via the profiles it has detected and you also won't get dynamic latency adjustment but a set base value.
