[SOLVED] Sound Installation Problem

Following the exact instructions in "Beginners Guide", I added a user by:

# useradd -m -G users,audio,lp,optical,storage,video,wheel,power -s /bin/bash mahan
# passwd mahan
# visudo

and added
mahan   ALL=(ALL) ALL

in /etc/modprobe.conf added:
options snd-pcsp index=2

# pacman -S alsa-utils
# pacman -S alsa-oss

but after a restart an adjusting the volume in alsamixer an trying to play the wav file by:
aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav

no sound came out of speakers but I got the following result:
Playing WAVE : `/usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav` Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 48000 Hz, Mono

Please Tell me what's going on.
Regards

Re: [SOLVED] Sound Installation Problem

What's the output of

lsmod | grep snd-pcscp

?

I had to blacklist the module (snd-pcscp) in /etc/rc.conf.

it's actually lsmod | grep snd-pcsp which had no result
black listing the snd_pcsp did not help as well

Thanx Anyway

Re: [SOLVED] Sound Installation Problem

I figured it out

# alsaconf
# alsactl store

in the /etc/rc.local added the:
alsactl restore

Re: [SOLVED] Sound Installation Problem

well, the more beautiful solution is to add "alsa" to the DAEMONS string in /etc/rc.conf
