I installed pulseaudio because it was a dependency for cinnamon. I was using alsa for everything beforehand for my secondary DM xfce4 and I didn't have any issues whatsoever. After checking alsamixer to see why my speakers aren't working I see that "PCM" is at 100%, "Headphones" is at 96% and "Speakers" is at 0% but none of the channels are muted. I tried storing the alsamixer settings so it would keep the same volume levels each time I start up but that didn't work. I checked my ~/.asoundrc to see if that could be the problem and I changed some settings based on this article and I still have the same results.
here is the list of playback devices:
$ aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: ALC269 Analog [ALC269 Analog]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 1: ALC269 Digital [ALC269 Digital]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
$
and here is my ~/.asoundrc currently:
pcm.pulse {
type pulse
}
ctl.pulse {
type pulse
}
This was my setup before:
pcm.!default {
type hw
card 0
device 0
}

Have you looked at the cinnamon page in the wiki?
I trust Microsoft about as far as I can comfortably spit a dead rat.
Cinnamon is a wonderful desktop

I have alsa-utils installed and it didn't change anything
Just to be clear, I can get my speakers to work after logging in but I have to go to alsamixer and push the slider up every single time I want to hear something.

Thats strange becasue that exactly the same thing that was happening to me and the alsa-utils fixed it.

I tried maybe removing alsa-utils and then installing it back again. Something else may be causing it... should I just delete my ~/.asoundrc?

Ran into another person that the alsa-utils fix didnt work. They installed Pulseaudio-git in the AUR and it fixed it, you might want to try it.

Is there anything in 'journalctl -b'?
I had the same problem.
Try to delete all user related data:
$ rm -r ~/.pulse ~/.pulse-cookie

I think so far pulseaudio-git fixed the problem. If the problem pops up again I will post here again, but for now I will mark this as solved.
