        More details needed. antiX-19 is not a half operating system. Not funny.

        Philosophers have interpreted the world in many ways; the point is to change it.

        antiX with runit - leaner and meaner.

          Hi.
          Maybe you had bad luck.

          No sound, no speaker in toolbar,

          On most of our systems sound works out of the box on antiX.
          On vanilla antiX 19 (full or base editions) you should be able to see volumeicon in the systemtray. I have it in mine (also fluxbox).

          What version of antiX are you using? Is it live or installed? What modifications have you made? Have you imported your own .fluxbox folder with your own configurations (missing systemtray in your ~/.fluxbox/init)? Are you using a separate /home partition with your own configurations (missing ~/.desktop-session/ folder)? Can it be that your fluxbox theme is so dark that the volume icon cannot be seen?

          volumeicon is launched on startup (you can see it in the ~/.desktop-session/startup file). You may also add it to your ~/.fluxbox/startup file if your /home folder is customized.
          volumeicon &

          If volumeicon is working but your sound not (and it is not muted), you can go to the Control Center to choose your soundcard and make sound tests.

          If you are used to pulseaudio (antiX uses ALSA as default because it is lighter), you can install it yourself

          Getting pulseaudio in your system:

          1. Installing pulseaudio:
          Open a terminal and execute
          sudo apt-get install pulseaudio pavucontrol

          2. Make pulseaudio launch on startup
          Edit startuo file
          geany ~/.desktop-session/startup
          Add a line that launches pulseaudio

          #launch pulseaudio Daemon on startup
          pulseaudio -D &

          Save and exit

          3. Making volume-icon use pulseaudio (and manage volume and properties)
          right-click the volume icon in your systray and click on Preferences.
          Have External mixer execute pavucontrol. It originally says:
          External mixer desktop-defaults-run -t alsamixer
          Replace it with:
          External mixer pavucontrol

          Reboot your system.

          Worst case scenario, the iso you downloaded is corrupted. Did you do a md5sum check?

          No live movie, no java

          What is “live movie”? Media player? Video streamer?
          There is no documentary about antiX linux (as of yet).

          java? You can install it! (not recommended except needed)
          Install it from synaptic, antiX package installer, apt…
