[Solved] No Sound Output Listed in Gnome Sound Settings

Question

Hi,
Just recently installed Arch and installed Gnome-Shell.  I have no sound at all and there is no devices listed in the output tab of the sound settings in Gnome Settings.
I can change volume but of course there is no sound.
Any help on how to diagnose and fix this would be appreciated.

Answer 1

I have added this to ~/.asoundrc:
pcm.dsp {
type plug
slave.pcm "dmix"
but to no avail.  I have also installed paprefs and my sound card isn't listed, only the HDMI output which I don't use.  I also tried this:
Using paprefs, simply select "Add virtual output device for simultaneous output on all local sound cards" from under the "Simultaneous Output" tab. Then, under GNOME's "sound settings", select the simultaneous output you have just created.
Nothing.
I also tried the verbose option too with the same result.
EDIT:
This is the output of for i in $(awk '{print $2}' /proc/asound/modules | sort | uniq); do echo "--- $i ---"; systool -vm $i; done
