Re: No sound with Pulseaudio



There are switches also in alsamixer. Try thoes.

Also check if ther's other sound cards in your system, like a connected hdmi.

It should work.

I had the same experience for (almost) every new or old
installation
that I made. Fresh install of testing or stable, never mind: each
time,
Sound didn't work from scratch with Pulseaudio. I deinstalled it,
and
voila, everything worked fine.

There is only one exception and that's my home theatre/gaming
PC. I
don't remember the details now, but to get kodi run along with
steam
nicely, I hat to get Pulseaudio to work. And in /this/ case, the
PA
tools were a blessing because I could very easily switch between a
7.2 and a
5.1 setup. That was necessary, because one game crashed with 7.2 🤦

So whenever I do a fresh installation now, I check if Pulseaudio
works
and if not I immediately uninstall it. It's usually not worth the
hassle.
