[SOLVED ] No audio

Hello,

I had sound with that computer on a previous installation of arch, but this time it didn't work. I managed to hear a test file with VLC but after tweaking the settings it's gone again and I can't reproduce it yet. The speakers worked but I couldn't get sound through the audio jack or from a HTML5 player.

I tried setting a .asoundrc up but I have not idea what i'm doing besides changing the card that's set by default in alsamixer I guess (the HDMI one and not the PCH was first in alsamixer). I can hear the beeps from terminals and mute it when muting master on the PCH card.

I hear the pink noise when doing "speaker-test -Dsurround40:PCH -c 2" or just "speaker-test -c 2" when i use the .asoundrc to set card1, but can't hear my test.wav in VLC with the audio output set to Automatic nor sound from a HTML5 player.

I think I need a .asoundrc to set the default card but it doesn't fix the sound issue

If someone can help me or point me in the right direction to get the sound working I'd be very thankful!

Thank you for reading

If you want to set the default sound card, maybe this (and a bit of info above the pound (#) link) may help: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ad … sound_card

I can and set it already with pcm.!default and ctl.!default to card 1 with type hw but it doesn't fix my sound problem. It wouldn't even bother me to select it everytime with alsamixer if I had sound é_è
The modprobe should be used if the boot order change right? If i set the card with the asoundrc it'll select the right one when i open alsamixer, and it doesn't change on boot for me I think.
I tried using options snd_hda_intel with index to 1 in case yesterday but it didn't fix my problem.

EDIT: Idk if it is normal that aplay listed Pulse as I'm not using it (at least not intentionnaly I guess)

EDIT 2: Saw an other thread regarding an issue with audio where someone linked a post (http://darmawan-salihun.blogspot.fr/201 … oblem.html).
I made an alsa conf in modprobe.d adapting the following pid to my case :

# Intel PCH
options snd-hda-intel index=0  model=auto vid=8086 pid=9c20
# Intel HDMI 
options snd-hda-intel index=1  model=auto vid=8086 pid=0a0c

and then edited the .asoundrc to set default now on card 0.

The great thing is that now VLC speaker output works fine after a boot with no need to switch the card etc BUT when I plug my headphones the sound remain on the speakers and nothing come through the jack. HTML5 sound doesn't work neither yet. I don't know what's missing

EDIT 3: I made some resarch regarding not having the headphone jack working and I heard it might help to use hdajackretask, but it doesn't seem to work, "Green Headphone, Front side" was already on "Headphone", so I tried checking the override button and 'install boot overide' but still no headphones after a reboot. Idk what to do now

EDIT 4: Well ... I removed the boot override I just made, rebooted to find my headphones working properly *_*. I also muted/unmuted the speakers in alsa while pluging the headphones a few times before the reboot so might be that, would be weird though ...
Now the sound works fine on Chromium but still not on firefox.
