[SOLVED] After migrating to x86_64 Intel HDA sound no longer works

I've been using ArchLinux x86 on the same system for quite a while, but I decided to give x86_64 a try again so I reinstalled Arch (by reinstall I mean a clean one - including / partition format).

Whenever I try to play a sound "socket(): Address family not supported by protocol" error comes up. If the same application tries to access audio devices again, no error is being repeatedly outputed again, thus it still hangs for a few seconds. For instance, if I receive a new mail on Thunderbird application, it has to play a sound while showing a notification, but not only that it doesn't, it also hangs for a few seconds.

"alsaconf" does not find my sound card, even though it is listed in lspci:

ernestas ~ $  lspci | grep dio
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 02)
ernestas ~ $  

I've tried many solutions I could find online, but none worked. ALSA did find my card while using x86 version of ArchLinux with newest packages. Could anyone help me out?

I am assuming you are using an onboard/integrated soundcard.  Please post the output of 'lspci'.

I am not sure what online solutions you already tried, but I would look here.  Look for your specific Intel HD audio model here, and send the options to the module via /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf.

Tried everything on that link, didn't work.
Sending model options didn't help. Using same modprobe.d directory of config files, which worked on ArchLinx x86, doesn't help either.

Solved by removing everything that has PulseAudio as a dependency.
