After fresh archlinux installation i downloaded pulseaudio, pulseaudio-alsa. Trying to get sound from my laptop i have used:
speaker-test -c 2
and got this: (no error messages)
speaker-test 1.1.6
Playback device is default
Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 2 channels
Using 16 octaves of pink noise
Rate set to 48000Hz (requested 48000Hz)
Buffer size range from 96 to 1048576
Period size range from 32 to 349526
Using max buffer size 1048576
Periods = 4
was set period_size = 262144
was set buffer_size = 1048576
0 - Front Left
1 - Front Right
Time per period = 10,993014
0 - Front Left
^C 1 - Front Right
Time per period = 5,509419
alsamixer is not muted
no error messages in pulseaudio -vv
no error messages after manually turning on and off pulseaudio
(there was XP installed on that lapotp and speakers were working)
so everything looks fine to me but still there is no sound from speakers during speaker-test and in apps like chromium etc.
any ideas?

What does aplay -L give you? You may need to configure pulseaudio to use the right device, but unfortunately at present I'm not able to remember what i did to configure mine when i changed the audio device I was using the last time.

Ah, it seems I wrote a .asoundrc when I first started using this plug-in USB sound card in preference to the broken internal sound, but that was before I repartitioned this machine and rebuilt my home folder from a backup. I can only find a .asoundrc in the remains of the backup, but it seems it's just working at present.
Here's the .asoundrc I did used to use:
pcm.copy {
type plug
slave {
pcm hw
}
route_policy copy
}No idea where I got that from. I've a vague recollection I added the slave section, but I'm really not too clear on what I did.
Looks like this build I got mplayer to work using my .mplayer/config file:
# Write your default config options here!
stop-xscreensaver=1
ao=pulse
nolirc=1Stop-xscreensaver doesn't work for me, and the nolirc line is just to stop mplayer moaning about remote controls every time I start it IIRC. ao=pulse is the line you want.
Also, claws-mail seems to bing at me regardless. I guess pulseaudio support is baked in there.
If you're sure you're using pulseaudio and you're getting no sound, use 'pavucontrol' and scroll the tab bar all the way to the right to get to the 'configuration' tab where you can pick the hardware device to use. I don't know where that stores it's settings off hand, so I don't know if I used it initially to get pulse to work.
