Has archlinux got firmware packages for Linux yet? If so, it could be one of those packages after an install and reboot may cause that card to get recognized. You might as root try dmesg | grep -i "audio" and see what else may be showing up. I wouldn't take pulseaudio off of the system entirely unless it enabled your sound system be it esd or alsa to actually recognize that card and talk to it. As root you might try pulseaudio --kill and then try doing things with aplay and other multimedia packages. If those suddenly start working, then you need to get rid of pulseaudio and keep it off of your system in the future. On Wed, 29 Aug 2012, Arno Gaboury wrote:

Can you do lspci -v? That may at least tell you what pulseaudio fails to recognize. On Wed, 29 Aug 2012, Arno Gaboury wrote:

Please run pulseaudio --cleanup-shm then run pulseaudio --start then run echo $? and see if you get a zero back. I'm on debian now and dumped pulseaudio completely since it got in the way of too many things and made an attempt to install a desktop environment unmanageable. But this should get you along a little further.

Dear list,
I am able to boot with systemd. For now, I am still using the mixed systemd installation, until everything is clear. The only issue is with pulseaudio. $ journalctl returns [pulseaudio] module-equalizer-sink.c: resume state exists but is wrong size! I am on XFCE4, and when I start mixer, i have this error: GStreamer was unable to detect any sound device.Some sound system specific Gstreamer packages maybe missing. It may also be a permission problem. In /var/log/errors, I find these entries: localhost pulseaudio[29270]: [pulseaudio] module-equalizer-sink.c: resume state exists but is wrong size! localhost login: pam_systemd(login:session): Failed to release session: Connection was disconnected before a reply was received localhost pulseaudio[2257]: [pulseaudio] pid.c: Stale PID file, overwriting. When I start Pulse audio volume control, it is waiting to connect to pulse audio and give me this error in everything.log: localhost kernel: [ 150.080570] pulseaudio[2257]: segfault at 48 ip 00007fdbd3df404e sp 00007fff3b1e9860 error 4 in module-equalizer-sink.so[7fdbd3def000+f000]
Thank you for help. Reply-To: arnaud.gaboury@gmail.com Host: Magnolia on Arch Linux I ran all your command, and get 0. Each time I $ pulseaudio --start, I see this errors in my log files: Aug 29 11:48:58 localhost pulseaudio[3361]: [pulseaudio] pid.c: Stale PID file, overwriting.

I am totally lost on this issue, especially the fact that my sound card is not recognized with $aplay -l
