Invoke alsamixer from the command line and check to make sure that
nothing's muted and it's pointing at the right soundcard--don't ask me
why, but ALSA sometimes sets everything up muted, and it isn't unusual
for an HD audio device to register as *two* devices, only one of which
works.

The logic is that someone might have headphones on or a loudspeaker turned up
high and get deafened when/if sound came on unexpectedly loudly during an
intall, so it is safe to leave people to turn the sound on knowingly. Don't
shoot the messenger. ;-)
Sometimes unmuting in KMixer is enough.
The easiest way to sort it is with pavucontrol, but that means installing
pulesaudio. <dons flameproof suti> ;-)

Hi Lisi,
Someone, please - I am hopeless on sound technology.
What does
"line" tout court mean?
Lisi
"Line out" is an audio output intended to be fed into an amplifier.
Its at a higher voltage level than a microphone, but a lower voltage
level than a "Speaker output".

confusing because of the, in my case three, number of sound devices

I played about for ages trying to get sound to work. When it did I

This still seems to be the case. I got SMplayer and TCC test sound working
after finally running
alsactl init
as root. I guess it was too late last night to see I missed doing it going
through https://wiki.debian.org/ALSA (discovered around 14:00 -0400 Michael).
Still I'm puzzled that the test sound works but none of the system
notification sounds work. Mp3blaster cannot open sound device either. Aplay
in Konsole is able to play the .wav files in /opt/trinity/share/sounds/.
Could this be a TDE pre-release bug?

Are they turned on in TDEControl?
Who knows. They look like they are. I spent lebenty bazillion years fooling
around in that panel.
I am sitting at a 3.5.13.2 machine, so

It bothers me that the play a sound icon is always gray, but it's both
working and gray in KDE3, while all other panel icons in both KDE3 and TDE
have some color other than gray.

on Debian Wheezy, but before I could look to problem closer, after some
subsequent update it corrected itself. Now I have the same problem on my
old test laptop - so far I have not found the cause.
if not using pulse, did you try asound and check the levels - unmute
whatever is muted and relevant for you.
On my notebook with decent intel/realtek sound card which has HDMI and PCH
in/output I disabled the HDMI as it was listed as 1st device. Now only PCH
is available and there is sound as usual.
If it is working partially look how the components are configured as
sometime they use /dev/dsp* which blocks anything else of using the audio
system. So when one application occupies the device nothing else can play.

There was checking the settings values in mixer - all is ok. Then there was
information that the test sound in settings of arts sound server plays
properly. It also successfully verified to use artsplay - here it is
interesting that artsplay also uses arts sound server. Just the other
programs that use arts sound server remains silent.

Not exactly. Notification now playing, but
players who use arts sound
server remains silent. I once had the same thing happen after some update
on Debian Wheezy, but before I could look to problem closer, after some
subsequent update it corrected itself. Now I have the same problem on my
old test laptop - so far I have not found the cause.

Last Debian I installed on any of my own systems was
Etch, until Friday, when
I did a network minimal, then added TDE. In a broad sense, only one thing
bothers me at this point, no sound. In openSUSE we have YaST2 for such things
as sound configuration, but in Jessie/TDE I haven't found anything that
helps. Trying to use Synaptic to figure it out isn't working, because its
scroller is worthless - it has no buttons to scroll only a line at atime, and
the scrollbar hopelessly overshoots trying to drag or click. TCC's Sound &
Multimedia isn't producing any sound or any clues as to why not. SMplayer
plays video but without sound. Is there some TDE tool not yet installed that
can configure sound, or do I need some as yet undiscovered Debian tool to
make sound work? https://wiki.debian.org/ALSA didn't seem to help at all. :-(

Have you tried 'alsactl
init'?
Usually works for me, providing nothing is muted.
