Based on the output Lisi provided, I'd say that's the case. The output
from paplay shows what I would expect. It seems to be playing all the
sound files you gave it to play. Same thing for pactl. Though I'm not
a pulse expert by any means, that doesn't have anything obvious that
jumps out at me either. It looks like it is as Joel suggests, your
sound is muted, that's the only explanation I can think of. I know you
tried alsamixer before you installed pulse, but have you tried it
since then? If not, then I suggest you run either amixer/alsamixer,
and see if they will let you unmute sound.
