Yeah, that was it. I hadn't installed ALSA at all. I wasn't aware that
pulseaudio sits on top of ALSA.

Thanks!

No sound after bullseye install

[Bob Latest]

Hi,

after installing Debian bullseye I can't get sound to work. I'm using
lightdm + dwm, and I have pulseaudio installed. "pavucontrol" ist stuck
on the message "Establishing connection to PulseAudio. Please wait..."

I don't understand zilch about how sound on Linux works, but my
previous version of Debian on the same hardware worked.

NB, this is a fresh install, not an upgrade from buster (?).
