[SOLVED] Sound not detected pulseaudio Z840 Workstation.

My pulse audio will only show Dummy Audio Device no matter what I seem to do. It works on ALSA anad I can play music with XMMS in that mode if I try. Nothing is using the sound card in fuser -v /dev/snd/*. I have the proper config with a default pcm device set to card 0 which is the intel hd audio onboard.

This is a system which was working fine and I transfered the hard disk over from a AMD system which was my main desktop. After moving it to the other rig and getting some other stuff working I was not able to see any devices in pavucontrol.

Tried deleting pulse configs and rebooting, also disabled respawn so I could kill and start it from the console in user mode.

Any Ideas of what thing I might have missed? Also keep in mind I am on Slackware so any special ubunto/rhel/suse type commands will not be available only vanilla linux stuff.

Running pulse audio shows it couldnt find a profile.

Post Edit: Adding this because I was able to get sound on slackware livecd from alienbob 64 bit current w plasma. So there must be some dumb config thing I missed. Worst come to worst ill just reinstall to current and probably fix it.

When running pulseaudio -v

Code:

According to module-udev-detect, it only found one device and it's id=1 not zero.

I somehow fixed it doing something else of all things, I had tried reinstalling pulse audio which broke it so that when i type pulseaudio it cant find json-c.so.2 which I then fully recompiled pulseaudio still had that issue but now suddenly I have sound. I really dont get it but my system is a little broken atm since its slackware 14.2 but I will keep that in mind next time about the udev rule. Consider this solved for now.
