My graphic card is AMD R9 280x and I have HDMI cable connected to my screen
I've tried:

and still no sound

"No PulseAudio daemon running, or not running as session daemon."

First, use 'start-pulseaudio-x11', then check if both 'aplay /dev/urandom' and 'paplay --raw /dev/urandom' produce sound - though if the result will be that pulseaudio is still not running, you'll need to check its log to see why.

when I do start-pulseaudio-x11 its say:
W: [pulseaudio] core-util.c: Failed to open configuration file '/home/shachaf/.config/pulse//daemon.conf': Permission denied
W: [pulseaudio] daemon-conf.c: Failed to open configuration file: Permission denied


so I did it when Im root and:
W: [pulseaudio] main.c: This program is not intended to be run as root (unless --system is specified).
E: [pulseaudio] main.c: Daemon startup failed.

That's kind of nonsense - why is that file not owned by the user ?
Also, why is that file there in the first place ? What did you put there ?

Oh, and running pulseaudio as root...not really something you'd need/want except for very special cases...

have you added your user to the audio group?

Code:
usermod -aG audio <your username>


(I think you'll have to logout and log back in after that to have it working if that's the case)

My machine cannot make any sound as well.
paplay and aplay produce silence too.
aplay -L lists two PCM, null and pulse. pacmd ls produce none.
But usermod solves it all. Thank @genoobish here.
