[SOLVED] No sound in Gnome 3 after upgrade

Question

Hi,
After last upgrade, I have no sound in Gnome 3.
I think all modules are loading:
lsmod| grep snd
snd_hda_codec_conexant 47158 1
snd_hda_intel 25700 4
snd_hda_codec 97432 2 snd_hda_codec_conexant,snd_hda_intel
snd_hwdep 6300 1 snd_hda_codec
snd_pcm 74926 3 snd_hda_codec,snd_hda_intel
snd_page_alloc 7217 2 snd_pcm,snd_hda_intel
snd_timer 18966 2 snd_pcm
snd 60021 13 snd_hwdep,snd_timer,snd_hda_codec_conexant,snd_pcm,snd_hda_codec,snd_hda_intel,thinkpad_acpi
soundcore 5442 1 snd
also the soundcard is recognized:
lspci | grep Audio
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03)
cat /proc/asound/cards
0 [Intel ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel
HDA Intel at 0xf2620000 irq 47
29 [ThinkPadEC ]: ThinkPad EC - ThinkPad Console Audio Control
ThinkPad Console Audio Control at EC reg 0x30, fw 6HHT14WW-1.02
and the user is in aduio group. The problem seems to be similar with this one:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1159367
but as I'm not using LXDE, the solution does not work for me.
Do you have any clues what to do with this?
Thank you!
EDIT: hm, the sound started working, when I launched Gnome Music Player Client... Still, any ideas why this happened?
EDIT2: now it works also after reboot, so it seems like mpd did some mess with the sound. I'm marking this topic as solved, but if someone will know what happened, then I'll be happy just to understand it

Hi, i had exactly the same problem but i managed to solve it by installing pavucontrol via pacman (pacman -S pavucontrol) and setting Analog Stereo Duplex in Configuration Tab. Hope it works for you! ;-)
