Hi all,
I've just installed and upgraded Arch Linux 2009-02 on my Toshiba laptop.
I've followed exactly the instructions for installing alsa. But I didn't manage to hear a sound.
the lspci command gives me that:
[root@myhost ~]# lspci | grep Multimedia
00:1e.2 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 03)
the lsmod command gives me that:
[root@myhost ~]# lsmod | grep '^snd'
snd_seq_dummy 2696 0
snd_seq_oss 31168 0
snd_seq_midi_event 7012 1 snd_seq_oss

snd_page_alloc 8844 3 snd_intel8x0,snd_intel8x0m,snd_pcm
I run alsa on startup putting him in the rc.conf file.
If I run ls -l /dev/snd I obtains:
[root@myhost ~]# ls -l /dev/snd

I unmute all of the channels with alsamixer, but I didn't hear anything on both cases:
echo 1 > /dev/dsp
or using aplay commands followed with a wav filename.
I didn't get any error neither in the /var/log/everything file or in the stderr when I run alsa commands.
If someone as a clue.
Thanks in advance.

Of course I have unmutted the channels and apply the entire wiki without result.
The most revolting is if I boot on my WinXP partition, it works perfectly (so it cannot be a hardware problem).
I boot in runlevel 3 to avoid problem eventually caused by gnome.
I use sox to play a wav file : visually it seems to work, but I didn't hear anything even in the headphone.

Some news,
I don't know how I've done, but, after reboot, I manage to hear .wav file in gnome startup and using aplay commandline.
But I didn't manage to have cd or mp3
