Arch Linux:No sound on fresh install of mate.

[Linux for blind general discussion]

I'm thinking lightdm on archlinux may well be incompatible with 
accessibility.  There's lightdm-slick which may be worth trying if 
lightdm-gtk-greeter ultimately won't work.  Next possibility is gdm with 
all that implies.  Finally startx as a way in.
