Moudles loaded, but no sound

Hello Everyone,

I have installed a new Archlinux setup the other day along with xfce DE, but I fail to get sound to work. I have read the ALSA topic(modules, amixer, audio group...) in the wiki and searched this forum for similar problems, but I failed to find a solution. Can anyone help?

Some info which I think will interest you:

$ ls /dev/snd/

controlC0  
pcmC0D0c
pcmC0D1p
pcmC0D3p
timer
midiC0D0
pcmC0D0p  
pcmC0D2p  
seq

$ lsmod | grep snd

Thanks in advance.

Re: Moudles loaded, but no sound

As you're posting in the Newbie Corner, just to make sure. What's the output of the following commands:

$ groups

$ amixer
