[SOLVED] No sound

I have no sound. That's strange, but I have my microphone working and headphones not working. The controller on headphones on the maximum level.
On Debian everything is working.

What have I to do?

I had install ALSA like in this topic: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ALSA (alsa-lib, alsa-utils and alsa-oss are installed)

dmitriy@arch:~$ lsmod | grep snd
snd_seq_dummy           1079  0

dmitriy@arch:~$ aplay error.wav
Playing WAVE 'error.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 22050 Hz, Mono

(nothing is sound)
What have I to do?

Re: [SOLVED] No sound

Are you a member of the "audio" group? Also, play a music CD or an mp3 file, open "alsamixer" and unmute channels with "m" and raise slider bars until you get sound.

Of course, yes. Just carefully read the post:

dmitriy@arch:~$ groups
audio users vboxusers

dmitriy@arch:~$ amixer set Master 90% unmute
Simple mixer control 'Master',0
  Capabilities: pvolume pvolume-joined pswitch pswitch-joined penum
  Playback channels: Mono
  Limits: Playback 0 - 64
  Mono: Playback 58 [91%] [-6.00dB] [on]

dmitriy@arch:~$ amixer set PCM 85% unmute
Simple mixer control 'PCM',0
  Capabilities: pvolume penum
  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]

Doesn't help.

ALSA is not in daemons in /etc/rc.conf. I will try it after this reply.

Great Thanx! Everything is working!
In Russian Arch wiki there was note, that I have to add it only if I want to save my mixer's settings. Fuck! Strange manual=)
