I wanted to try the Trinity Debian image on my other desktop. Although
the system sounds work, if I installed (into RAM) Firefox and went to
multimedia web sites (YouTube, audio test sites, etc), there is no
audio.
The 'lspci -v' command is showing two audio devices:
00:05.0 Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation MCP61 High Definition Audio (rev a2)
Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device 2a6c
Flags: bus master, 66MHz, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 23
Memory at fe028000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
Capabilities: <access denied>
Kernel driver in use: snd_hda_intel
02:00.1 Audio device: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Cedar HDMI Audio [Radeon HD
5400/6300/7300 Series]
Subsystem: VISIONTEK Device aa68
Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 28
Memory at fdcfc000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
Capabilities: <access denied>
Kernel driver in use: snd_hda_intel
The Trinity PCLinuxOS image is installed on this desktop's hard drive
and audio works everywhere. KMix lists three mixers, PulseAudio
(the default), HDA NVidia and HDA ATI HDMI.
The AMD entry is actually a PCI-E x16 video card, with VGA, HDMI and DVI
inputs. It's connected to a monitor via HDMI, but the monitor does not
have built-in speakers. The NVIDIA entry is the on-board audio.
I tried restarting the audio system by checking then un-checking
a box, but on the Debian image, this didn't correct the lack of
audio. Is the Debian software possibly not recognizing the audio
setup correctly, even though the system sounds work?
Thanks in advance.

BIG typos here, my apologies. :(
Please replace Debian with Ubuntu in the above e-mail.

Firefox requires PulseAudio to play audio. I guess PA is not installed in the live image
:-)

Ok with FF and pulse audio,
you need to "direct" the output. The best tool,
easiest tool to do that with is "Pulseaudio System Tray" there's also
PNMixer, but I like PST. Here's a small video of it in use.
Right click on playback streams and choose your output, in my case it's the
emu10k2 (sound blaster audigy) I can also send it to my tv (caiso hdmi).
Try installing Pulseaudio System Tray or pavucontrol with pavucontrol-qt gui.
If you need some video tutorials, let me know I'll make them.

Although I'm not having audio issues with PCLinuxOS/TDE Mini installed
on each of the hard drives (It worked perfectly right out of the box.),
pavucontrol is already installed, but not the pavucontrol-qt package.
Playing a music video on YouTube, then launching the PA volune control,
it shows the audio for Firefox on "Built-in Audio Analog Stereo", with
All Streams as the default. Is this volume control something that should
also launch at startup (along with Kmix) and would this work running
TDE from the Ubuntu live image?

However, I don't think you'll find these, by default, on any ubuntu live cds.
The PA volume control of your choice, should auto start like kmix.
I don't know about ubuntu, so you'll have to see what's available.
I have pavucontrol/pavucontrol-qt, PNMixer, and Pulseaudio System Tray (the
one I use). Use one of them to shunt the output to your device of choice.
IE
Internal audio card, hdmi video card with audio support, bluetooth
spearker/headset etc. Experiment with each output until you have sound.
I'm sure others will pop in with clear, better suggestions. So experiment
until them. You can't hurt anything.

After trying other LiveCD/DVD's, I've decided to keep Community
PCLinuxOS TDE Mini installed on this system as well (have it installed
on two). It works to my satisfaction, boots up in a fraction of the time
that the previously-installed Linux distribution did and I'm happy with
it. :)
I may also have solved the issue where the startup sound wasn't playing
at each system boot-up. I went into Trinity Control Center/Sound &
Multimedia/Sound System and changed the Skip Prevention Sound
Buffer setting from the default 232 milliseconds to 417 milliseconds. So
far, at every boot-up (warm or cold), the startup sound has played each
time. I have it set to 417 on both systems now.

Hi Michele,
You are correct, Pulse Audio isn't included in the Ubuntu image.

audio from Firefox. When I exited Kmix and re-launched it, Pulse Audio
wasn't even listed as an option for it.
Hi Edward,
usually after restarting kmix, you should have two mixer to choose from, alsa and PA.
Are you sure PA is running?

It works and it's a refreshing change from the previous distro. :)

Ok perfect. In any case I think in future live CD we will probably include PA from the
start :-)

Hi Michele,
More success to report.
I installed the 20.04.1 Trinity/Ubuntu image into a new VirtualBox last
night. Upon installing HPLIP, PulseAudio and Bluetooth Manager
afterwards, I was successful printing and had audio through both Firefox
and Bluetooth.
I would definitely recommend including PulseAudio with future
Trinity/Ubuntu releases.
Just waiting for Ubuntu to add the latest Thunderbird (78) to the LTS
repos. :)

PA is the one thing that I kick first when sound problems occur. For firefox you just need
"apulse", if it does not like alsa.
