hi all ,
i am a newbie of linux.My notebook is HP CompaQ V3159AU.OS is Archlinux(Duke) with kernel 2.6.21-3.
i use xfce4 desktop manager. i have install "alsa-lib alsa-utils and alsa-oss",but i can not hear nothing when i play mp3 with beep or another player(the player works well). And there is not "PCM" in the Volume Control .
i have already done according to the method mentioned in "http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Alsa".
[root@myhost ~]# lsmod|grep '^snd'
snd_seq_oss 29056 0
snd_seq_midi_event 6528 1 snd_seq_oss
snd_seq 46800 4 snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi_event

However,It didn't have any effect.

Have you tried alsaconf?
Offline
probably you already did this, but.. are you positive you unmuted your speakers?

http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Alsa should cover almost everything.
Todays mistakes are tomorrows catastrophes.

as hacosta said, easiest thing to do is open up a terminal and run alsamixer
Unmute everything (Master and PCM will be muted by default) and up the volumes then hit esc to save the changes. See if that works.

You're in audio group, aren't you?

Hopefully this is a super dumb suggestions: Have you /etc/rc.d/alsa start ?

The alsa daemon isn't required to play sound, it is just to restore volume settings at startup. See the ALSA Setup Wiki

another really dumb question: are you sure the volume on the laptop itself is up, and unmuted?
oops, i see hacosta already covered that, n/m.

Hmmmm. Interesting, I didn't have sound until I started the daemon.

Because all the daemon does, is restoring your sound levels (volume, muteing). If you boot your PC, all sound devices are muted. Either you have to unmute them manually and configure the volume or you let alsa daemon do this for you.

Your lsmod's and stuff look exactly the same as mine so I'll tell you what I did:
pacman -S alsa-lib alsa-utils alsa-oss alsaplayer <---- !!!!
aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/whatever.wav
Then alsamixer and PCM shows up, change front to a higher volume
Add alsa to daemons
**EDIT** Try that first, but if that doesn't work through in an alsaconf too before the aplay **EDIT**
