Arch Linux:No sound on fresh install of mate.

[Linux for blind general discussion]

Okay guys I have some updates. I reinstalled the system just so I have
a fresh start. I have not created a non root user yet. The thing I'm
asking with that is there any groups I want to add this user too. I
heard something about audio, optical, storage, and power. I'm
wondering sence I didn't add my user to the audio group that could of
been my problem. Oh and for the person who told me to do speaker-test
I did that when logged in and got no beep so I did conferm that my
sound wasn't working.
