problem with alsa

hi all!

i've installed Arch after Debian and experienced a problem with alsa.

i run alsaconf, it exits with no errors but there's still no sound. alsamixer says:
alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device

what could be a reason? thanks.

Hmmm....The user use to have to be in the audio group. Not sure if that's still the case though. Also, make sure your master and pcm channels are not muted.

yeah, it works under root... so, should i add user to group 'audio'?

Yes. Give that a shot and lemme know how it goes.
