I'm trying to play some sound as a user. But pulseaudio can't find any outputs:
$ aplay -l aplay: device_list:268: no soundcards found...
But, as root, aplay sees the integrated sound card:
# aplay -l **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: SB [HDA ATI SB], device 0: VT2020 Analog [VT2020 Analog] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 0: SB [HDA ATI SB], device 1: VT2020 Digital [VT2020 Digital] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 0: SB [HDA ATI SB], device 2: VT2020 Alt Analog [VT2020 Alt Analog] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
I'd just use root if I could, by pulseaudio doesn't like that.

OK, thanks to archwiki, solved this by adding the user to group audio
usermod -a -G audio [user]
$ aplay -l **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: SB [HDA ATI SB], device 0: VT2020 Analog [VT2020 Analog] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 .......
But pulseaudio still only has the dummy soundcard:
pacmd list-sinks 1 sink(s) available. * index: 0 ............ properties: device.description = "Dummy Output" device.class = "abstract" device.icon_name = "audio-card"
Puzzled why this is so complicated.
