Hello there. First of all I want to say that Arch Linux is awesome. I've been using it for some time now and can do most of the things I'd like to do - except for setting up sound. In fact, I have no idea of how to accomplish this. Would someone mind pointing me in the right direction? I've tried searching the forums and using the wiki, but I've yet to be able to do anything useful. Or anything at all. Also, I don't know what sound card I've got at the moment, so I'm not even sure it'll work, so any instructions on how to find this out would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Have you read this?
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ALSA
That should lead you in the right direction.
The gist of it is:
# pacman -Sy alsa-lib alsa-utils alsa-oss
# alsaconf
# gpasswd -a USERNAME audio
# alsactl store
---add alsa to your rc.conf file under daemons
That should work.. =]

That was a very quick and helpful response. Thank you very much, meinhimmel! At first I didn't get any sound, but the guide told me that all cards were muted by default, so I just used "alsamixer" to unmute them (and raise the master volume). Thanks again!
