I carried out the install from the recommended(last) chimera iso and all basically was well. Sounds was there, but I didn't want pulseaudio and removed it and installed alsa, alsaplayer, alsamixer, etc.
But I have no sound. It seems to have something to do with certain drivers for PCMs not being installed. lspci| grep Audio 09:00.1 Audio device: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Navi 10 HDMI Audio 0b:00.4 Audio device: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD] Starship/Matisse HD Audio Controller I can get sound via vlc, but only after selecting the realtek chip on the mother board. This only works for vlc(and ?*), but not for alsaplayer, the browser and other programs(**) . * & ** If the program allows selection of a PCM(?), you may get sound. Essentially, the 'default' sound option is missing, So >user@system:alsaplayer /usr/share/sounds/sound-icons/canary-long.wav ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1075:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave snd_pcm_open: No such file or directory (default) Failed to initialize plugin!

YOU WILL NOT HEAR SOUND!! ...done playing I have tried deleting/purging and reinstalling alsa and alsaplayer(alsa and oss), but that link is not restored. FWIW, vlc says the OSS sound system isn't there. So something is missing that ties stuff together. I am at a loss as to which package it might require. With that in mind, list of alsa packages follows; alsa-firmware-loaders/testing,now 1.2.2-1 amd64 [installed] alsa-oss/testing,now 1.1.8-1 amd64 [installed] alsa-tools-gui/testing,now 1.2.2-1 amd64 [installed] alsa-tools/testing,now 1.2.2-1 amd64 [installed] alsa-topology-conf/testing,now 1.2.4-1 all [installed] alsa-utils/testing,now 1.2.4-1 amd64 [installed] alsaplayer-alsa/testing,now 0.99.81-2+b1 amd64 [installed] alsaplayer-common/testing,now 0.99.81-2+b1 amd64 [installed,automatic] alsaplayer-daemon/testing,now 0.99.81-2+b1 amd64 [installed] alsaplayer-oss/testing,now 0.99.81-2+b1 amd64 [installed] alsaplayer-text/testing,now 0.99.81-2+b1 amd64 [installed] libclalsadrv2/testing,now 2.0.0-3.1 amd64 [installed] libghc-alsa-core-dev/testing,now 0.5.0.1-6+b1 amd64 [installed,automatic] libghc-alsa-core-doc/testing,now 0.5.0.1-6 all [installed] libghc-alsa-core-prof/testing,now 0.5.0.1-6+b1 amd64 [installed] libghc-alsa-mixer-doc/testing,now 0.3.0-2 all [installed] volumeicon-alsa/testing,now 0.5.1+git20170117-1+b1 amd64 [installed] Sigh. Looking for clubies. And yes, nothing is muted and mixers(alsa and qas) are fine, but 'card' needs to be selected. _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
