By default, Bugzilla does not search the list of RESOLVED bugs.
You can force it to do so by putting the upper-case word ALL in front of your search query, e.g.: ALL tdelibs
We recommend searching for bugs this way, as you may discover that your bug has already been resolved and fixed in a later release.

Description A.Muhammad 2020-01-09 02:34:43 CST 
There is no sound in Ubuntu Bionic 18.4.3 AMD64 with Trinity R14.0.7 preinstalled. Obtained through the official Trinity PPA (http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/cdimages/ubuntu/bionic).

Apparently some mixer-related package is missing and I had to install PulseAudio and set it to auto start manually.

The reason I set this as critical is because it's critical to be unable to hear any sounds after a fresh installation, this would set new users away.
It has nothing to do with the hardware as far as I know.

Added to r14.0.8 bug list and downgraded to major.
Comment 2 A.Muhammad 2020-01-11 02:37:00 CST 
It should've been a BLOCKER! This has something to do with how you view the end-users and their issues. Those LiveCD's are surely put there so that the novice user can easily download and install Trinity on a popular mainstream (in this case it's Ubuntu) and having this novice user pushed to look for answers online (which is by the way very deep to find) for something as initial as audio is not good.

With that said I have no clue what priority labels Trinity developers use. Maybe setting sound issues to major is how they do things.

I tried to run tde-14.0.7-ubuntu-18.04.3-desktop-amd64.iso in a virtual machine with sound card support enabled and I was greeted with a jingle during login.

I used a simple startup of the virtual machine from the command line:

kvm -m 2048 -cdrom tde-14.0.7-ubuntu-18.04.3-desktop-amd64.iso -soundhw hda -vga virtio

Is it possible that your hardware has multiple sound cards and the default output has been selected that you don't have speakers connected to? For example, the HDMI / DisplayPort output may be considered as a separate sound card by the system and may be preferred to generic output on the computer.

Please send the output from:

cat /proc/asound/cards


Note: The blocker level is adequate for cases where the system cannot be used. Missing sound may cause reduced comfort, but it's certainly not blocking or critical.

Live cd "tde-14.0.7-ubuntu-18.04.3-desktop-amd64.iso"

I can confirm audio works fine for kvm, exactly as described in https://bugs.trinitydesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3067#c3

However, it doesn't work for the same live Ubuntu cd in Virtualbox, exactly as described by the OP. Command "artsshell status" reports busy status all of the time and audio plays nothing. I am convinced it's bug https://bugs.trinitydesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3031

For some Debian based systems, if I install pulseaudio, sound still doesn't work, moreover it makes system overloaded, I would guess it's connected to this one https://bugs.trinitydesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2842

The output you required for "cat /proc/asound/cards", knowing that audio is now working fine after some user-modifications I did on my own:

 0 [HDMI           ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel HDMI
                      HDA Intel HDMI at 0xc3610000 irq 49
 1 [PCH            ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel PCH
                      HDA Intel PCH at 0xc3614000 irq 50

Looks to me I'm not the only one having trouble with aRts/audio. I think you should further investigate this issue regardless of this particular bug report.
