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 pulseaudioReinstall removed packages:
sudo apt-get install firefox libcanberra-pulse pulseaudio-module-bluetoothThis bug was there since June.

::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?

::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+deb10u1Debian 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.Philosophers have interpreted the world in many ways; the point is to change it.

::Rasat said :
This bug was there since June.
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.
