No sound with onboard audio snd_hda_intel

I have gone through the Arch Alsa wiki page and am not sure what else to try, I am simply getting no sound anywhere.

 aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: AD198x Analog [AD198x Analog]
  Subdevices: 0/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 1: AD198x Digital [AD198x Digital]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

I try to playback with the first device:

aplay -D plughw:0,0 /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav
aplay: main:696: audio open error: Device or resource busy

Drivers look good:

 lsmod | grep '^snd' | column -t
snd_hrtimer           1701    1
snd_seq               50915   1
snd_seq_device        5269    1   snd_seq
snd_hda_codec_analog  80198   1
snd_hda_intel         27700   3
snd_hda_codec         100743  2   snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec_analog

snd_page_alloc        7427    2   snd_pcm,snd_hda_intel
snd_timer             18935   4   snd_hrtimer,snd_pcm,snd_seq
snd                   60157   13  snd_hwdep,snd_timer,snd_pcm,snd_seq,snd_hda_codec,snd_hda_intel,snd_seq_device,snd_hda_codec_analog

Alsamixer is unmuted and all volumes full, I use an analog Logitech speaker system. I also added the software mixing in the wiki to my /etc/asound.conf:

 cat /etc/asound.conf
pcm.dsp {
    type plug
    slave.pcm "dmix"
}

Have cycled through each device in the Audio Device listing in VLC and no sound on anything, for the Default ones it plays with no error but I hear nothing, for any others it keeps giving me:

 cannot open ALSA device "surround51:CARD=Intel,DEV=0": Device or resource busy

Appreciate any help with this, thanks

Re: No sound with onboard audio snd_hda_intel

You can set the audio device in VLC, but try mplayer and see if you get any sound.

Re: No sound with onboard audio snd_hda_intel

Yep, in my OP I stated I cycled through each device in VLC and no sound for any. I just tried mplayer and get no errors but no sound:

I also followed the https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Al … Sound_Card  tip and blacklisted that module in /etc/modprobe.d/remote_blacklist.conf, rebooted, no help.

I double-checked and booted into Windows to ensure that the onboard audio itself was working and it works fine. Still no idea what to try here

EDIT: Here's a screenshot of my alsamixer http://i.imgur.com/YfHjpDt.png  looks ok to me?

Re: No sound with onboard audio snd_hda_intel

Looks like your channels in are muted (indicated by MM in alsamixer). You have to unmute them by pressing the m-key in alsamixer for each channel.

They should be all OO.
