| Message-ID | <D4oI1-xs-3@gated-at.bofh.it> |
Hi, after installing Debian bullseye I can't get sound to work. I'm using lightdm + dwm, and I have pulseaudio installed. "pavucontrol" ist stuck on the message "Establishing connection to PulseAudio. Please wait..." I don't understand zilch about how sound on Linux works, but my previous version of Debian on the same hardware worked. NB, this is a fresh install, not an upgrade from buster (?).

I hadn't installed ALSA at all. I wasn't aware that pulseaudio sits on top of ALSA. Thanks!

Some command-line tools for ALSA are not installed by default though (e.g. the package alsa-tools). Kind regards, Andrei -- http://wiki.debian.org/FAQsFromDebianUser
