For wifi it's much easier to install networkmanager, add it to DAEMONS (after dbus) and then configure your network with one of the KDE/GNOME networkmanager applets. It pretty much just works after that. For example I plugged in a USB wifi adaptor and it automatically appeared in the applet and found various SSIDs.
For sound, the best solution that worked for me was ALSA + esd. I could never get PulseAudio to work properly.
- bwat47 15y agoI've had a great experience with pulseaudio + gnome 3. Some people consider gnome 3's tight integration with pulse a downside, but so far its given me the best sound experience on linux. On arch after installing gnome 3 my sound just works flawlessly, even my usb headphones. I did have issues with pulse when I used XFCE though.
