[SOLVED] No sounds since configuring new PC

Built a new PC in December and got it all working (eventually) except sounds. Now running Arch 6.1.8-arch1-1. Tried a whole variety of commands to try to interpret what's going wrong, following a bundle of "SOLVED" threads on this forum and elsewhere. No luck whatsoever.

So, to start off keeping it simple, here is the output of, first, 

 ~]$ pulseaudio -v
I: [pulseaudio] main.c: setrlimit(RLIMIT_NICE, (31, 31)) failed: Operation not permitted
I: [pulseaudio] main.c: setrlimit(RLIMIT_RTPRIO, (9, 9)) failed: Operation not permitted

then the content of the nominally offending file:

Re: [SOLVED] No sounds since configuring new PC

That file is completely broken and contains placeholders that would be replaced during compilation where did you get this? Remove it and reinstall the pulseaudio package and reboot. After post 

sudo fuser -v /dev/snd/*
sudo dmesg | grep -iE 'snd|sof'
aplay -lL
uname -a
pactl list cards
pactl list sinks

I think I may have got these a bit mixed up. I'm posting so it doesn't time me out but will checkover and amend to get it right and in the sequence you asked for.

That has got pavucontrol working and I'm very grateful for that. Still no sounds but obviously progress made.

Re: [SOLVED] No sounds since configuring new PC

So now you have devices and cards, what happens if you try to play something? Chances are you want to switch to an analog output from digital

Re: [SOLVED] No sounds since configuring new PC

Just tried playing audio from an online video, but still no sounds. I'll have a look at pavucontrol and see if that lets me switch to analog. If not, where should I look?

P.S. I only need the simplest of sound systems. Listen whist watching online videos and listen to my CDs, copied onto the hdd in .ogg format. I haven't configured anything to play the CDs yet, so just online for the time  being.

Re: [SOLVED] No sounds since configuring new PC

You can switch that in pavucontrol, and while playing back something in the browser or so, make sure they are playing to the correct device. Post 

pactl list sinks
pactl list sink-inputs

pavucontrol is not offering an option to switch to analogue. Lots of options but no allowing me to switch between them. There are still no sounds. Looking at these outputs I would have thought there should be so my ignorance is clearly showing.

WOW!!! Just made the one switch pavucontrol would allow, to the "Renoir Radeon" option from the "Family" one. It is very loud indeed!!!

Sincere thanks to you both for your expertise and for your patience, @V1del. Marking the thread "solved" now.

Re: [SOLVED] No sounds since configuring new PC

Well you need to know your speaker setup, if you are going over HDMI to the screen then that's what you should play from indeed, glad to hear this fixed it.

Re: [SOLVED] No sounds since configuring new PC

It was working. But now it is not. I tried doing as the system suggested, which was to run "start-pulseaudio-x11"

 ~]$ start-pulseaudio-x11

pavucontrol keeps pumping out a failure message:

 ~]$ pavucontrol

Is there a way to get back to sounds being on and remaining on, i.e. persistence through switching off and on or rebooting?

TIA

Edit: Got it going again after some fiddling around. Still can't work out how to make it persistent though.

Final edit: Whatever I tweaked last night appears to have done the job. Audio has continued working through a couple of reboots to test and the usual overnight switch-off.
