hi, On my Lenovo Ideapad 110 laptop, with Debian Stretch, I have sound neither with speaker nor headphone. Here are some details: - with WIndows 10, no problem, which means that the hardware is OK. - with the Debian 9.1 kde live dvd, the sound works with the headphone, but not with the speaker. - with the installed Debian 9.1 kde, no sound at all, with any program (including speaker-test)
I must add that pulseaudio runs correctly with the live dvd, but fails on the installed system, although I copied the /etc/pulse content from the dvd live. E: [pulseaudio] module.c: Failed to load module "module-alsa-sink" (argument: "device=default"): initialization failed. E: [pulseaudio] main.c: Module load failed. E: [pulseaudio] main.c: Failed to initialize daemon. Googling gave me nothing useful. Has anybody an idea? I find it abnormal that such a fundamental thing as sound is so difficult to configure under Linux. It's that kind of problems which makes difficult to convince people to abandon Windows for Linux. best regards, -- Pierre Frenkiel
