Re: Getting audio to work!

"alsa-utils" and "alsa-lib" are installed i also add alsasound to openrc
wen it didn't work iv add alsa-oss alsa-tools alsa-plugins but nothing came out of it
maybe firejail is blocking sound idk ?
any suggestion would be great i didn't listen to music or anything for 3 days or more smile

Re: Getting audio to work!

This can be an issue as the soundcard itself is muted: Perhaps tryout to execute "alsamixer" and look after the corresponding channels for the default card. Afterwards you could also try to change the volume - I'll have later a look as I had this kind of issue also in the past and solved that with a little script. smile
