[SOLVED] Fresh Arch + Gnome 3 install = no sound (missing profiles)

About 3 hours I'm trying to find solution to my problem. I just don't hear any sound. Gnome volume controj have only one profile and it's digital output. Normally I have 2 cards to choose there - w digital output and analog output. It doesn't matter what I select, I have only one profile option and it's digita output. When I select this, analog card dissapear. Well...I think this is a bug in gnome volume control because pulseaudio knows all profiles even with analog output.

I'd like to ask Gnome 3 users...is it normal? Do you have a sound?

P.S. My card is Xonar DX

I have Xonar DGX. Almost same card.
I have sound
Are you sure you have alsa-utils package ? Also check alsamixer from console. Oh and BTW since about one week I had to add myself to audio to have sound.
I have never bothered with gnome audio settings, they are quite dumb.
alsamixer FTW

Thanks. Problem solved

I had to install pavucontrol, there select right card and profile. After that in alsamixer unmute channels
