[SOLVED] Freshly installed Arch Linux, no sound..

Hey.

This is my first post on archlinux forums, so go easy on me. I hereby apologize if this post is posted under the wrong section.
Im also kinda new to arch, but familiar with other distros.

However, I bought a new laptop just to run arch.
Ive been trying to deal with this problem for a while now, but i cannot seem to figure it out (been googling aswell).

#########
Heres output of aplay -l

**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 2: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 0: VT1802 Analog [VT1802 Analog]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 2: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 2: VT1802 Alt Analog [VT1802 Alt Analog]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

#########
And heres output of aplay when i try to make it play a .wav file

[stian@stian-arch ~]$ aplay Downloads/adios.wav
ALSA lib confmisc.c:768:(parse_card) cannot find card '0'
ALSA lib conf.c:4248:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_card_driver returned error: No such file or directory
ALSA lib confmisc.c:392:(snd_func_concat) error evaluating strings
ALSA lib conf.c:4248:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_concat returned error: No such file or directory
ALSA lib confmisc.c:1251:(snd_func_refer) error evaluating name
ALSA lib conf.c:4248:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_refer returned error: No such file or directory
ALSA lib conf.c:4727:(snd_config_expand) Evaluate error: No such file or directory
ALSA lib pcm.c:2239:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM default
aplay: main:722: audio open error: No such file or directory

Is anybody able to assist me on this?

Hope to hear from you soon,

EDIT >
Appearently I did not google well enough. Looking at the Wiki helped, by finding the right card, and then making a ~/.asoundrc pointing to the card and voila. I have sound!
