I am copying this discussion that I started in the Lubuntu mail list over into the LTSP list. The issue is that on Lubuntu 12.04 with LTSP, the LTSP clients don't play sound locally. Sound plays through the LTSP server's speakers. But on Edubuntu 12.04 with LTSP, the LTSP clients play sound locally just fine.

A couple more notes:

I find that Pulseaudio is indeed installed on Lubuntu Precise, so perhaps the previous post's "We don't use pulseaudio" remark refers merely to non-usage by Skype, rather than to fundamental configuration in Lubuntu?

In Edubuntu 12.04, local sound works fine on LTSP clients. So Alsa and Pulseaudio are configured differently in Edubuntu/Ubuntu than in Lubuntu?

I hadn't posted anything on the topic yet since I have not tested my observation more widely, but I seem to find that LTSP clients connected to a Lubuntu LTSP server do not have local sound. They output to the server's speakers.

Vaguely I recall that LTSP relies on pulseaudio, so your statement below could explain the behavior.

If this assessment is correct, anyone know of a relatively easy way to get local sound working with LTSP on Lubuntu?

We don't use pulseaudio so pavucontrol makes no sense. Skype only used with alsa reveals the alsa devices in skypes configuration for audio devices. This works usually fine.

Today I had to use Skype, and I noticed that there's no way to change the microphone volume. There's no GUI for doing that. So I googled and, at the Ubuntu forums recommended to use pavucontrol as a unique pulse audio controller.

Shouldn't we include this app in the distro? I mean, maybe more people need to control more device's levels and they have no choice. Or maybe I'm wrong and I'm not using the right tool.

Thanks.
