(SOLVED) No system sounds, and no sound for some applications
For some reason, system sounds stopped working (like when one takes a screenshot). aplay plays sounds (I mean, no errors whatsoever), but I can hear nothing. Listening from mplayer or vlc still works as normal.
When I 'aplay sound.wav', I see the leds going up and down on pavucontrol, but I hear nothing.
I run openbox and I don't start gnome-settings-daemon with it. It is "pure" openbox.
I checked pavucontrol settings, and also alsamixer but couldn't find anything that could solve the problem. I use pulse-audio, and have pulseaudio-alsa and alsa-utils installed.

There is a difference between knowing the path and walking the path.

Re: (SOLVED) No system sounds, and no sound for some applications
After two or three more days, even the volume in other applications were almost inaudible.
However...
Talking to the good folds in #archlinux, @Namarrgon told me about F6 in alsamixer. I then switched to HDA Intel, and the master channel was really almost muted. Solved.

Good thing you posted the solution, even when you found it elsewhere. This helped me too, my speaker channel was at somehow set at zero.

Yeah, I can guarantee that I didn't touch alsamixer myself. I didn't even know the F6 option (although, today I realized it is there very well visible). Anyway, I guess an update might have changed something... I saw other people with similar problems in #archlinux this morning.

It happened to me as well after an update.
