Some command-line tools for ALSA are not installed by default though (e.g. the package alsa-tools).

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

No sound after bullseye install
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 (?).

You have to tell us more about your system. My crystal ball says you probably missing some firmware for a sound adapter from Intel. Install firmware package from a 'non-free' section and see if that will help: # apt install firmware-intel-sound alsa-utils To test the audio use 'speaker-test' utility: $ speaker-test -c2 -t wav Also check if any channels were accidentally muted using 'alsamixer' utility. If you still don't have any sound, send output from commands below with your next message: $ lspci -knnv | grep -A6 Audio $ aplay -l $ aplay -L | grep -A1 ^hw: # journalctl -b -g pulse -- With kindest regards, Alexander. ⢀⣴⠾⠻⢶⣦⠀ ⣾⠁⢠⠒⠀⣿⡁ Debian - The universal operating system ⢿⡄⠘⠷⠚⠋⠀ https://www.debian.org ⠈⠳⣄
