      AntiX 19 beta 3, Gnome.
      The sound is fine, but does not show the sound device in <Setting><Sound>. Also no volume icon in menu. To fix it…

      sudo apt-get update
      sudo apt-get remove –purge pulseaudio
      sudo rm -rf /etc/pulse
      sudo apt-get install pulseaudio

      Reinstall removed packages:
      sudo apt-get install firefox libcanberra-pulse pulseaudio-module-bluetooth

      This bug was there since June.

        Are you sure the error is in antiX?

        I think you have to look at Gnome.

          I don’t remember dealing with this bug when I installed stable Debian 10. Did a check with live cd, sound device and volume icon are there.

            Do you need to use the nosystemd version of pulseaudio?

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

            antiX with runit - leaner and meaner.

              Not sure if I understood your question. This is what I have. Gnome and with same /home

              Debian 10 — pulseaudio 12.2-4
              MX 19 b2 — pulseaudio 12.2-4+deb10u1
              Antix 19 b3 — 12.2-4+deb10u1

              Debian and MX works fine with no pulseaudio fixing. Also gdebi works fine.

                You said you needed to reinstall pulseaudio.
                But, pulseaudio is not installed on antiX (-19 beta versions) by default.

                  But if it is a ‘bug’ why has nobody else reported it? It’s now late September. ???

                    You are right, I don’t think its a bug but occasionally, for some reason, doesn’t show the sound device and volume icon. If doesn’t, this is the tip and trick.

                    Wayland in Gnome has root/sudo permission peculiarity. I am running xorg in both MX and AntiX. With lightdm gives the option. These are minor thing. As per performance, speed and snappy apps, AntiX will be my primary distro. What I am missing is plymouth boot splash. Since 1997 looking at the text boot, wanted a change. 🙂 … though with AntiX it takes only 5-7 sec (i7 + ssd) before login screen.

                      plymouth uses systemd so it might not be installable on antiX-19 and even if it is, it might not work.

                        What sometimes happens if your monitor is connected with an HDMI cable, is the system selects HDMI sound instead of the usual sound card. If your monitor isn’t a TV, or has no speakers, you get no sound output.

                        Check your soundcards using control center, hardware section.
