[SOLVED]No sound after fresh install

I just install archlinux on my desk at home, but I got no sound..

I've installed alsa-utils and alsa-plugins, and when I run speaker-test I got:

[geckos@localhost ~]$ speaker-test 

speaker-test 1.0.27

Playback device is default
Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 1 channels
Using 16 octaves of pink noise
ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1022:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave
Playback open error: -2,No such file or directory
[geckos@localhost ~]$ 

My user is in audio group, and run the same with root gives me the same results..

Here is lspci

[root@localhost ~]# lspci

And the cards found

[root@localhost ~]# cat /proc/asound/cards

                      HDA NVidia at 0xfcffc000 irq 19

                      ESS ES1978 (Maestro 2E) at 0xa400, irq 17
[root@localhost ~]# 

Any idea?
