[Solved] There is no sound in my system.

I broke something. There is no sound.
I think it is because I removed something having "alsa" in its name before.

This is status of pulseaudio service:

Re: [Solved] There is no sound in my system.

I solved the problem by reinstalling alsa-lib and alsa-plugins packages. It turned out I had removed all the config files from /usr/share and /user/lib directories.
