Hello,
I have a fresh Arch install and no sound from web. Initially, I had no sound at all, but after loading kernel modules snd-seq-oss, snd-pcm-oss and snd-mixer-oss, I can hear music and movies in mplayer fine.
What I've tried so far:
muting/unmuting the channels in alsamixer, rebooting
different browsers: Opera, Firefox, the native Arch web browser
renaming /etc/asound.conf to /etc/asound.backup (is this the same as deleting the file ?)
installing gst-plugins-ugly, ffmpeg
adding ~/.asoundrc (see below)
running fuser -v /dev/snd/*
~/.asoundrc
pcm.pulse { type pulse }
ctl.pulse { type pulse }
pcm.!default { type pulse }
ctl.!default { type pulse }
alsa-info details:

of course googling and serching multimedia and newbie corner and wiki, but to no avail.

Loading snd-oss modules doesn't sound like something you'd want to do. Remove your .asoundrc and install pulseaudio-alsa instead. Post the outputs of
uname -a
sudo fuser -v /dev/snd/*
pacmd list-cards
pacmd list-sinks
pacmd list-sink-inputs #While playing something

Are you sure you're running Arch? It doesn't have a native web browser.

Ah, so it's probably native to Gnome. My bad. But I am running Arch anyway (you can check the link alsa-info details in OP).
Loading snd-oss modules is what allowed me to hear sound at least from mplayer. I followed advice from here (OSS compatibility was my case):
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ad … stallation
I had pulseaudio-alsa installed. Now I checked again - it is up-to-date.
Anyway:
uname -a
Linux mullins-PC 4.8.4-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat Oct 22 18:26:57 CEST 2016 x86_64 GNU/Linux
sudo fuser -v /dev/snd/*
USER PID ACCESS COMMAND
/dev/snd/controlC0: gdm 407 F.... pulseaudio
mullins 590 F.... pulseaudio
pacmd list-cards:

pacmd list-sinks
http://pastebin.com/z8my3zx3
pacmd list-sink-inputs #While playing something from Mplayer (I hear it)
0 sink input(s) available.
..but I get this when I play it from Opera (hear nothing)
pacmd list-sink-inputs #While playing something from Opera (I hear nothing)

Thank you

Your pulse sink is set to play to the digital output, which is unlikely to be what you want use
pacmd set-card-profile alsa_card.pci-0000_00_1b.0 output:analog-stereo+input:analog-stereo
and/or install pavucontrol to have a GUI to visualize that. (And make mplayer output to an ALSA or pulseaudio sink, using the oss emulation will break if you want audio at the same time from different sources)

Great, it works! Thank you.
