Recently I made the transition from Debian to Arch, installed on a
seperate partition using the chroot install method.
All went smoothly, with the exception that there is no audio whatsoever.
Over the last week I've read through the related topics on the wiki and searched the forum,
but to no avail
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Here are some details;

It looks like OSS and ALSA are installed but I think ALSA replaces OSS. When I do "lsmod | grep snd" I do not get any lines containing oss. I think I would try removing OSS.

Having tried various methods, of configuring, removing OSS, Pulseaudio, reinstalling etc I left it alone for a few days so as to concentrate on other matters.
Yesterday, I returned back to the issue determined to resolve it.
Despite having already tried the removal & reloading of the snd-hda-intel kernel module this time it magically worked! \o/

a couple of days i had a similar problem, because sound modules for my internal modem were loaded. maybe you can try to blacklist the snd_hda_codec_realtek module, which looks like a network card.
you can achieve that by putting
blacklist snd_hda_codec_realtek
in /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf and reboot.

Thanks for the reply, much appreciated.
Before submitting this post I had tried various methods and configs, including the blacklisting, removing and reloading modules.
Fortunately I've managed to get it working and have marked post as solved
