on my stretch box I run aplay -L | grep default default sysdefault:CARD=PCH so it does not seem to be user/root issue I have audio you shouldn't be running pulse audio as root. IT is started automatically with the user session. Just reboot, log in as normal user and run pavucontrol. check your setup there. check your setup with alsamixer. If you still have problems make sure you have proper index set for the audio driver. options snd-hda-intel id=PCH,HDMI index=1,0 or try any of the suggestions here https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=180102
