It's my first time here so welcome and hi!
I had no big problems with Arch untill now (I've been using it for a while and I thing it's awesome) that I wouldn't handle myself; but this time is unfortunatly different.
I bought new IBM laptop (T41) and I cannot make the sound work (I don't remember any struggle while using HP).
Probable I just do or read something wrong, any ideas?

alsaconf doesn't help, it's not muted as well, the speakers are not broken becouse just before I install Arch they worked on Mandriva (I bought it second handed and it was already there)
post scriptum: while writing I also trying some things and now while I'm a normal user there is some problem:
/usr/share/sounds/alsa $ aplay Front_Center.wav
aplay: main:608: audio open error: Nie ma takiego pliku ani katalogu
(Foreign language thing is "thre is no such file or directory" - I left it 'couse I'm not sure how it's actually in English.)
/usr/share/sounds/alsa # aplay Front_Left.wav
Playing WAVE 'Front_Left.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 48000 Hz, Mono
Anyway there is no sound at all in both cases.
Before I had the second thing as normal user as well. However it's not so important. But it's too late at my place now for caring.
Thank you in advance.

Well, I found that the multimedia keys (mute, volume up, down), works directly on speakers. I thought they don't work at all becouse xev hadn't seen them. Anyway - stupid thing that wasn't related to Linux.

Same Problem here with snd-hda-intel and snd-usb-audio.
I use testing repo so kernel is 2.6.31-1 and alsa-lib is 1.0.21.a-1 .
--------
Have removed testing repo and have downgraded packets. Sound is working again
--------
Back to testing . Had to install kernel-headers 2.6.31 by editing PKGBUILD and then building alsa-utils again the new headers.
2.6.31 is porno
