Hi, I just installed arch. I'm having a bit of trouble getting my audio to work. At the moment I hear absolutely nothing
First of all, after looking at a few posts i've done a few things... including:
I've uploaded my alsa info here http://alsa-project.org/db/?f=14741587b … b03f23eb49
I've unmuted everything in with the command alsamixer(pressing m on everything)
I've set my default in ~/.asoundrc (to be honest i can't find the post where i got the command to find the card number):
pcm.!default {
type hw
card 0
}
ctl.!default {
type hw
card 0
}
I'm sure i've missed something important here? If there is any other information you might need to help, please let me know. Thanks

I see in your log that you have Pulse audio installed and running. Check if it is not muted and sound level with pulsemixer or pavucontrol.

Have a look at this.
Temporarily remove (or copy somewhere else) your asoundrc then run speaker-test -c 2. What is the output?
Also aplay -L | grep :CARD.

I believe that pulse is not muted. I ran pulsemixer, and it was at 100%
It shows "Firefox: Audio edition" so it seems to reckognize that a youtube video was playing. But i still didnt hear anything

What is the output of aplay -l, cat /proc/asound/modules, lsmod | grep snd?
Have you tried speaker-test -D sysdefault:PCH -c 2?

aplay -l

Please edit your post and use [ code ] tags when posting output. This makes the output much easier to read.

Stop pulseaudio and ensure to make audio work w/o it first.
There's an auto-mute feature that might misfire. Assuming your're hoping for sound from the speakers, try to plug in headphones (but nb. that HP volume was 0% in your info dump, so ensure to raise that as well)
Online
Ok, after stopping pulse audio, I've unmuted Headphones in alsamixer and I plugged them in and ran speaker-test again and it works. However when I dont have headphones plugged in, the speaker test does not work
Offline
Try to disable the auto-mute feature.
Online
That did it. Thanks so much.
For anyone wondering i found a script that disables auto mute here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=195489
#!/bin/sh
# card name
CARD=`sed -n 's/\s\([0-9]*\).*:\s.*Intel PCH/\1/p' /proc/asound/cards`
# check auto-mute state
amixer -c $CARD sget "Auto-Mute Mode" | grep "Item0: 'Disabled'"
# $? is 0 if auto-mute is disabled
# $? is 1 if auto-mute is enabled
if [ "$?" -eq "0" ]; then
amixer -c $CARD sset "Auto-Mute Mode" Enabled
notify-send 'auto-mute enabled' -u low -a ALSA -t 4000 -i audio-volume-muted
else
amixer -c $CARD sset "Auto-Mute Mode" Disabled
notify-send 'auto-mute disabled' -u low -a ALSA -t 4000 -i audio-volume-high
