Debian doesn’t have an asound.conf anywhere. I used mc to search the partition.

You might try the following using sudo:
Take asound.conf out of the equation
mv /etc/asound.conf /etc/asound.conf.DISABLEDStop ALSA
service alsa-utils stopStart ALSA without reading asound.conf
service alsa-utils startAs an unprivileged user
Ensure everything in alsamixer is not muted and the sliders are set to a highish level
Open a terminal and enter the following command
speaker-test -c2 -twav -l3No luck with that, either…
Ok, so I did a “core 64” install and it works.
So if I was going to build it up from core, what would my load sequence be? I tried to do it from going down a package list from my other machine, but now can’t boot except to single user,
I was looking for a load in this sequence to build from core post here and on the old site, but didn’t find anything other than the Mate and Xfce ones that had any details of a load sequence. Its interesting that sound works on core but not my installed full. Maybe I should do a fresh install of full to see if it works initially? I would probably want IceWM anyway, but can’t run slim.

That test of the audio should be reasonably straightforward to do without installing and while bypassing slim.
The Basic approach is to use antiX in live mode.
Get the antiX-17-Full ISO
Create a bootable DVD or USB stick using the ISO
Boot using the ISO device
At the GRUB boot screen edit the Boot Options field to show
quiet 3
That avoids disabling any services and will bypass slim to produce a CLI environment.
Log-in as demo
Run alsamixer and ensure nothing is muted or set to a low volume level
Close alsamixer
Run the command
speaker-test -c2 -twav -l3It worked from the USB, so I’m reinstalling. Getting rid of slim. I’ll leave it installed but run lightdm.

For the benefit of future searchers, please post the uname -a of the sound-is-now-working Dell XPS 15-7559 system

idunno about “sequence” on a granular level. Although I can point you to
a list of packages not in “core”, but added for base (1 pkg only)
a list of packages not in “core” which are added when building both base and full
list of packages not in base nor core, but added when building “full version”
in order to achieve an expected result, I expect you would need to also add a lot of various antiX-curated conf files
lookit, browse around —–v

https://github.com/antiX-Linux/Build-iso/tree/master/ThemesThanks to both. I think if I can, I’ll stay with the full version, but the core version was very light on memory use, I have to say.
antiX-17_x64-core.iso was the iso I used for core…
Sound now works and memory use down to 99.4 mb running lightdm.
Thanks for the help all 🙂

I think the sound issue was caused by me. But all the xorg that are 30-40 mb crash on resume from suspend or hibernate, its a Skylake bug. I have to run a 60 mb xorg kernel to prevent it.
I don’t have the authority to mark the thread solved. Its working fine on the same machine after reinstalling.
PS: I did look at the other options, and maybe will give the .net a try, but basically, I think its nice that the antiX has so much integrated that it seems wiser just try to run things when they already exist and work. But it is neat to see that it is possible.
