See this start up message:

"
Sound server informational message:
Error while initializing the sound driver:

The sound server will continue, using the null output device. "

I could not install alsa.

Does it work as root? If it does, you need to add yourself to the 'audio' group. In /etc/passwd, add your username to the line with the audio group. Then run `id <username>` and check. If you are all set, it should work.

Just I had to install alsa by
"pacman -Ss alsa-lib alsa-utils".
And the matter is settled.
