Have you tried running pulseaudio as a daemon? e.g. "/etc/rc.d/pulseaudio start' This would likely be a fix for now... OR If you're feeling daring, then maybe try out this udev-acl package I just put up on AUR. I have no idea if it will work, I just threw it together with the patch that was provided, and I'm not on an Arch box right now so I can't test it. I figured it would be interesting to see if this solved the problem though. http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=31904 I think the default way of starting pulse has become dependent on consolekit & policykit ever since the pulse user was removed.

Also, make sure your user is a member of the group 'audio'?
If you're still having problems then run
ls -l /dev/snd
and show us the output
I'm having the same problem as OP. Re-configuring fails:

Any ideas of how to get my sound back?
