So I found that SoaS and Fedora Workstation, at least, have the audio output sink default on card/port index 1 instead of the convention of index 0. Where and how this goes this way, I don't know. But it happens on more than one system.
I've updated the bug report, https://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/4998. A workaround is to use the PulseAudio command, $ pacmd set-default-sink 0 On Tue, Apr 28, 2020 at 4:36 AM Peter Robinson <[email protected]> wrote: > > With Fedora-SoaS-Live-x86_64-32-1.6.iso I'm hearing no sound. > > And see no log messages. > > > > Is this a common problem? > > Ultimately in this cycle in particular an awful lot changed, we moved > completely from python2 -> python3 among a lot of other changes. > > For me the Speak activity works for me on a VM and that's my usual > go-to sound tester as I don't need to find any media to play. > > Things like sound are very complex, multiple output, defaults, > different hardware.
