Hi all,
everything ran ok, at least as far as I remember.
Last time sound was there in VirtualBox and dosbox.
Latest changes were the installation of the "DVD" programs and a newer version of softmaker freeoffice (in chroot).
The best I could get was a very damped&muffled sound with speakers on full volume from exaile while playing with exaile settings.
I tried with startup task&services, but was not successfull.
Where to start checking on corrupt or invalid settings?
Thanks.

Does sound work if you create a new user and log in with that?

I am just trying to find out where things go wrong.
Here the startup services:
Anything missed or too much starting?
When trying to configure Pulseaudio, it seems not to be started ...
Thanks.

Disable alsa, alsa-oss and pulseaudio. See the note on the top of /etc/rc.d/rc.pulseaudio.
Then type in a terminal
if need be.
When you start a session, pulseaudio with automatically start for that user. You can check that there is a running instance of pulsaudio typing in a terminal:

Hi Didier,
thanks so far.
The command returns:
Code: Select all
jpg[~]$ ps -C pulseaudio
PID TTY TIME CMD
1295 ? 00:00:09 pulseaudio
1440 ? 00:00:01 pulseaudio
But still no noise...

So,
after uninstalling LIBFFDAO, timidity and devedeBackup
and searching for settings in alsamixer and pavucontrol I managed to direct output to "internal audio" and now sound is back.
To whatever reason alsa & pulseaudio were always trying to direct sound to a device which is not an audiocard.
So when I went away form "HDMI" to internal sound it works.
Exaile plays, Video from Youtube play with sound and other "noise" is there as well.
No idea why and when it wet wrong...
Thanks anyway.
