Recently, I don't know when or what has changed, I lost sound in a few programs.
For example:
Sound working in
speaker-test -c 2
mplayer
mumble
luakitnot working
chromium
firefox
warsow
mpvSo I started reading https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ad … m_problems and the mpv.conf ao=alsa fixed it for mpv. But there's nothing else there..
And after searching the web for answers I tried figuring out what to put in my ~/.asoundrc or /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf ( I have never had anything in these files before when it was working but apparently this is what people use )
$ aplay -l

I've tried a lot of combinations tonight but none that resulted in sound in all programs

you should try to figure out why exactly sound isn't working with those applications.
for example try running mpv from command line without 'ao=alsa' and see if you get any errors.

thanks for your reply.

looks like that's the case with mpv at least. do you have pulseaudio installed/running? and have you set up your system to use pulseaudio or just bare ALSA?

Yes, pulseaudio was installed and running... sound is now back everywhere after pacman -R pulseaudio and rebooting.
Why was it installed though? There were only optional dependencies for it when uninstalling.

The package phonon-qt4-gstreamer had pulseaudio as a dependency for a short period of time. Please mark the thread as solved.
