This is probably something very simple, but I am not an expert yet.
I have no sound at all in my arch install.
This are my sound cards
00:1b.0 Audio device [0403]: Intel Corporation 9 Series Chipset Family HD Audio Controller [8086:8ca0]
Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. Device [1043:860b]

01:00.1 Audio device [0403]: NVIDIA Corporation GM204 High Definition Audio Controller [10de:0fbb] (rev a1)
Subsystem: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd Device [1458:3683]when I run aplay -l
aplay: device_list:268: no soundcards found...I have unmuted everything in alsa mixer (set everything to 00 instead of MM) . Also I can only run alsamixer as root.

.When I run speaket-test -c2
speaker-test 1.1.1
Playback device is default
Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 2 channels
Using 16 octaves of pink noise

What may be happening is that the default soundcard is the one in my gpu, so it tries to send sound via hdmi, and my monitor has no speakers, I have them connected to the motherboard behind, aswell as my microphone.
I have changed my default card in alsamixer, it's set to be the one from intel
┌───── Sound Card ──────┐
│- (default) │
│0 HDA Intel PCH │
│1 HDA NVidia │
│ enter device name... │
└───────────────────┘ Also, I can hear static from my speakers if I max the volume, and I know they work, because I've tried them with my cellphone.
Thanks in advance

I am checking "Set the default sound card" section in "Advanced Linux Sound Architecture" but so far I need my soundcard to be listed under the command "aplay -l", I'll need to go before.

Unmuting the channels isn't enough, if the volume is set to 0 speaker-test won't make any sound. Try setting them all to 100 before running speaker-test again. speaker-test will only produce static noise by the way, so if you hear static while running it, it means it's working.
But aplay -l should just list the cards. Maybe you need the alsa-firmware package for that.
I don't understand why you can only run alsamixer as root either. According to the wiki every user should be able to except for remote users. Are you running as a remote user?
