What packages did you update / install since it last worked?

Hello, Here's the command output. Not using pulse.

I really cant trace where the problem started. I used my system normally no pacman operations. I listened to some mp3s and then after a couple of hours tried to watch a video on youtube.
Then i realized that i had no sound. i replayed my mp3s and still no sound.

Nothing of the usual obvious pitfalls so far, one thing I notice is that the PCM control seems to be muted, this would be the closest I'd associate with such an issue, try to unmute that (using 'M' in alsamixer) or

amixer -c0 set PCM On

if that doesn't help actively play something back you expect to hear something from and repost

sudo fuser -v /dev/snd/*
dmesg | grep -iE 'snd|hda'

...I'll just add a quick thought, since V1del is helping you with the real debugging...

The "extreme" test for me in this scenario is to grab a copy of Linux Mint and boot into a live environment. If sound still doesn't work, then it's probably broken hardware (soundcard, speakers...). This might be the case if everything was working then suddenly stopped working. Probably not. But maybe.

Good luck!

I unmuted PCM but no luck. I also loaded mint live medium and i had sound right of the bat so soundcard works

That reads like I'd expect it to ( I hope, the sudo part is important here, did you make sure to run this as root?), I'd suggest you try out linux-lts to verifiy if this isn't a kernel issue that might've creeped in. (You can use [ code ] tags instead of [ quote ] tags for pasting command outputs)

Hi i'm already on lts and i used sudo to execute the commands. Sorry about the quotes . Today while i booted up my pc i already had my headphones on and a couple of seconds after grub screen i heard some crackling. When i booted into X and played my mp3 with vlc still no sound. I dunno if it helps or not. Thank you for all your efforts!

Hello all!
After searching and stumbling around i solved the issue by removing asound.state file and rebooting

# rm /var/lib/alsa/asound.state

Thank you guys
