I have the same problem. Sound was working with alpha1 but after the las t 
updates, it is mute.
I use a Midiman Delta 44 which uses snd_ice1712
The on-board card uses 

$ play /usr/share/sounds/KDE-Im-Cant-Connect.ogg
ALSA lib pulse.c:229:(pulse_connect) PulseAudio: Unable to connect: Connection 
refused
play FAIL formats: can't open output file `default': snd_pcm_open error: 
Connection refused

Where can I found the synoptic of the sound system in mageia? It is now so 
complicated that it is difficult to help to make a good bug report and, of 
course, a patch.
