Hi,
I've just installed Arch Linux (x64) on a HP 6730s laptop, and I don't seem to be getting any sound at all.
I installed alsamixer, and unmuted the Master, as well as setting the volume to 100.
My output from lsmod:
[victorhooi@arch-hp6730 ~]$ lsmod | grep '^snd' | column -t

I tried testing sound with:
speaker-test -c 2
No sound output at all, from speakers, or headphones.
I also tried with aplay and a wav:
[victorhooi@arch-hp6730 ~]$ aplay /usr/share/sounds/speech-dispatcher/test.wav
Playing WAVE '/usr/share/sounds/speech-dispatcher/test.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 16000 Hz, Mono
[victorhooi@arch-hp6730 ~]$ aplay /usr/share/sounds/speech-dispatcher/test.wav
Playing WAVE '/usr/share/sounds/speech-dispatcher/test.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 16000 Hz, Mono
Also no output.
I also tried playing a video with KDE's Dragon video player, also nothing.
I then tried using VLC to play a movie, also no sound, however, I noticed the following in the console output:
[0x7fd320000958] pulse audio output error: PulseAudio server connection failure: Connection refused
I installed the pulseaudio and pulseaudio-alsa packages, and restarted VLC. I didn't see that error this time, but still no sound.
Any thoughts on how to get sound working?
Cheers,

ISTR on my old HP there was a "hardware mute", something like FunctionKey + F9?

heya,
@vacant: Thanks for the tip - however, I already tried that , still no sound.
On the laptops I've tried before , that combination just toggles the software mixer mute/unmute - I haven't seen it do a hardware mute/unmute before.
Cheers,

heya,
Also, I ran the alsa-info script mentioned here(https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio/AlsaInfo):
My output is here:
