Hi, I deleted my /etc/.asound file by accident and reading arch wiki didn't give me a straight answer to solve it. Anyway can you give me a hint to start with fixing it? i'll really appreciate it. thanks for your time

Try reinstalling alsa-utils
I possess a device, in my pocket, that is capable of accessing the entirety of information known to man.
I use it to look at funny pictures of cats and to argue with strangers.

So, what's the actual problem here? /etc/asound.conf (not /etc/.asound, which has no effect) is a user created file.

after deleting that file i am recieving this problem opening moc(Music Player Console):
Can't load plugin libmusepack_decoder: file not found
Running the server...
Trying JACK...
Trying ALSA...
ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1029:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave
Trying OSS...
FATAL_ERROR: No valid sound driver!
FATAL_ERROR: Server exited!
And also Mplayer won't play audio in video playing.
Im sure i never did anything causing damage to sound driver. Im saying that deletation caused it because in /'arch wiki'/'ALSA page' i saw this :
"The system configuration file is /etc/asound.conf, and the per-user configuration file is ~/.asoundrc."

You make Alad's point. The presence or absence of /etc/.asound should have no effect.
As a sanity check, what are the output of uname -a and of pacman -Qi linux
Specifically, do the reported versions for the kernel match?

The fact you're logged in as root might explain the issues and confusion you're having. Create a regular user as the wiki tells you, and login from there.

This ^^
But, the running kernel does match the installed modules. This is a good thing
Edit: Are you using pulseaudio?

That is not solving my problem, it only prevents me to make a new one! i wanna have trouble because i learn more when i have more problems. I appreciate your effort but changing user (which i did) didn't solve it thought it may have caused it, because all forums talk about a ~/.asoundrc file which i don't seen to have in root (~).
If you have any other solution or hint, cheer me up. unless thanks for everything.
