No sounds. :( Help, please

I just migrated from Kubuntu to Archlinux

Everything seems to be working perfectly, except for sound. I did put my username in the audio group
And my soundcard seems to be recognized. But I get no sound, at all. I did try different speakers and headphones, so its not that

Please help.

Here's the output of lspci:

Re: No sounds. :( Help, please

Hi,

I think you have to install alsa.
Look at the wiki  http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Alsa

I'm afraid that's not it..

I followed everything there.
Here, for example:
[vxp@yoda ~]$ ls -l /dev/snd
total 0
crw-rw---- 1 root audio 116,  0 2007-06-03 09:39 controlC0
crw-rw---- 1 root audio 116, 24 2007-06-03 09:39 pcmC0D0c
crw-rw---- 1 root audio 116, 16 2007-06-03 09:39 pcmC0D0p
crw-rw---- 1 root audio 116, 17 2007-06-03 09:39 pcmC0D1p
crw-rw---- 1 root audio 116,  1 2007-06-03 09:39 seq
crw-rw---- 1 root audio 116, 33 2007-06-03 09:39 timer
[vxp@yoda ~]$
[vxp@yoda ~]$ amixer set PCM 85% unmute
Simple mixer control 'PCM',0
  Capabilities: pvolume
  Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right
  Limits: Playback 0 - 255
  Mono:
  Front Left: Playback 217 [85%] [-7.60dB]
  Front Right: Playback 217 [85%] [-7.60dB]
[vxp@yoda ~]$

Any other ideas?

Re: No sounds. :( Help, please

Go into alsamixer and unmute all the channels and raise the volumes on the various channels until you find the one that works.  By default, my audio is always muted upon install.
