No sound in fresh Arch install

Hi,
just installed Arch on a new PC and I have trouble setting up the sound.
Some basic info:

$ aplay -l

$ speaker-test -Dhw:2,0 -c2

speaker-test 1.2.8

Playback device is hw:2,0
Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 2 channels
Using 16 octaves of pink noise
Rate set to 48000Hz (requested 48000Hz)
Buffer size range from 64 to 1048576
Period size range from 32 to 524288
Using max buffer size 1048576
Periods = 4
was set period_size = 262144
was set buffer_size = 1048576
 0 - Front Left
 1 - Front Right

Speaker-test output looks as it should, but no sound. I have dual boot with windows and in windows the sound works fine, so it's not a hardware problem.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Edit: I forgot to say that explicitly, but of course everything's unmuted.
