[Fixed]alsa not working

My sound is working, but I'm only able to use one applications that plays music instead of multiple. I can play sound with amarok, but not able to listen to youtube with Firefox. My alsa is simply not working. I don't have sound in sauerbraten (though I have libsdl_image and libsd_mixer). As you can see the name of the Linux kernel module is snd_hda_intel.

1 root@linuxlaptop $ ls -l /sys/module/snd/holders

This is my /etc/modprobe.d/sound file, modified by running alsaconf:

7 root@linuxlaptop $ cat /etc/modprobe.d/sound
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
alias sound-slot-0 snd-hda-intel

As you can see I have alsa and I changed my DAEMONS and MODULES array in my /etc/rc.conf file:
I've obtainted alsa with pacman.

8 root@linuxlaptop $ pacman -Q | grep alsa
alsa-lib 1.0.21.a-1
alsa-oss 1.0.17-1
alsa-plugins 1.0.21-1
alsa-utils 1.0.21-1

11 root@linuxlaptop $ cat /etc/rc.conf | grep DAEMONS
# DAEMONS
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng network netfs crond hal alsa cups kdm)

12 root@linuxlaptop $ cat /etc/rc.conf | grep MODULES
MODULES=(iwlcore snd_hda_intel snd-mixer-oss snd-seq-oss snd-pcm-oss)

I added myself with gpasswd -a to the sound group.

I've noticed noticed my HDMI output is not working.

Here are my playback devices:

2 pieterjan@linuxlaptop $ aplay -l

  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

Unfortunately I don't hear anything when I execute aplay -D plughw:0,3 /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Noise.wav

Here are some screenshots of my volume control:

Can anybody help me? Thanks.

I fixed the issue by removing /etc/asound.conf
