I am trying to run pulseaudio but if fails:

bash-4.3$ pulseaudio --start
E: [pulseaudio] main.c: Daemon startup failed.
bash-4.3$

I have chosen pulseaudio because I did not manage to configure sound with alsaconf:
my sound device is onboard:

bash-4.3# lspci | grep Audio
00:14.2 Audio device: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA)
01:00.1 Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation GF108 High Definition Audio Controller (rev a1)
bash-4.3#
