Hi,
I have very low sound in my laptop with alsa so I wanted to try pulseaudio and oss. In ubuntu sound works great which has pulse by default. I tried setting up pulse in Arch with KDE but it doesn't seem to work. I tried oss and it doesn't work either. When I try to use /etc/rc.d/oss start the system just hangs.
Any suggestions?:(

Take a look at its ALSA package - see its version, and which of its packages might fix your issue.

pulseaudio is tricky, I forget what they are called but I believe its pavucontrol and pavumeter or something like that, just look them up (Pulse Audio Volume...) so pavu<xxx>. Those helped to set the proper inputs and things. You just have to fight with it a bit.
First, when you install OSS you don't have to remove ALSA (if I remember correctly) Your best bet is to follow the Arch Wiki guides when installing each one, they are what I use when dealing with sound because sometimes it can be a bit of a nightmare. Secondly, I had some issues where I had to set a dbus error so that pulseaudio would default the correct card as the 1st card so I didn't have to keep changing it and resetting all the settings each time I rebooted. It depends if you have more than one sound card or not. Good luck!
