I know there is a similar thread that just been opened, but my problem is slightly different since I had sound for the past 6 months without problem. But since yesterday, output sound is not working and I can't seem to find why. There is no sound coming out from laptop speakers, neither from headphone jack.

I use PulseAudio and a clean Alsa. They are all official arch packages.
I did not touch .asoundrcfile at all.

Pulse audio is running. I'm sure, because it catches the microphone. I can see the levels going up and down.
But still no output.
Here's the output from these commands:

Funk me.... I'm so sorry. All this trouble for this.
It's solved now.
I've tried so many things. And it was just that. Don't know how this got activated.
I searched in alsamixer and all the properties I could find. This never showed up.
I'm so ashamed.
Thanks so much for your help.
