Thanks, Canek, As you have predicted, the setttings from Jacques didn't work for me, but you both provided a good starting point. Nowadays as a regular user, pulseaudio comes up with all digital outputs, and no analog ones. I have to login as root in a TTY console (no X, plain old text mode) and issue a command like this: pulseaudio -D --system Then I am able to log in as a normal user and use Xorg (KDE) with sound enabled and working as expected. I have learned a few "pactl" commands, and checked the correct syntax for my card, the correct profile and port from this If I set up "/etc/pulse/default.pa" with these values and simply star pulseaudio as root, it doesn't complain about the configuration (I have had a few complaints for some tipos). Then, after killing this instance and logging as a regular user, all available audio outputs on KDE are marked either with a warning sign or an error sign, and no sound comes up. But, again, you both gave me what I asked, a tip. Now I think I can go on with the docs and a few more trial-and-error tests. Thanks a lot! Francisco
