Hello,
I just tryed to install TDE R14 on my new notepad (Lenovo G50-70).
All worked with the base desktop (Gnome) but when i installed an used TDE, it can't play any sound with ARTS. I don't know how to correct it. The sound card is working in other DE, the kernel module should be OK. I think there a config file to edit or something to do but i don't know what i should do.
I request your help. I really want to use TDE.
Thanks for your help.
Nicolas D.

I always have trouble with sound in everything. The problem is usually that sound is muted somehwere, especially if I know that it is basically working, as you do; and I just have to find where it is muted.
Most obvious first - have you looked at KMix? Alsamixer? Pavucontrol? (In that order! And you may not have all of them.)

It was OK on Kmix, nothings was muted. I didn't look on alsamixer yesterday but i think the items are the sames. Pulseaudio isn't installed ... then no this way.
I'll look to this point again and reply to the list with the result. Also, i'll send the lspci output.
Is it possible that the default sound output with ARTS is my secondary HDMI output ? Even if nothing in pluged in ?

Try: cat /proc/asound/cards By default output go to the card number 0.

Hi,
# lspci 00:03.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation Haswell-ULT HD Audio Controller (rev 09) 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 8 Series HD Audio Controller (rev 04)
# cat /proc/asound/cards 0 [HDMI ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel HDMI HDA Intel HDMI at 0xb0610000 irq 66 1 [PCH ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel PCH HDA Intel PCH at 0xb0614000 irq 64
It seems that my HDMI output is the main input. How can i change it to the card PCH ?
Thanks.

I tryed a /etc/asoundrc with the content
pcm.!default { type hw card PCH }
ctl.!default { type hw card PCH }
And sound works ! It seems it was an order problem, now i have to find what is the package name for commons environments sounds (windows closing, minimizing).

Because I sometimes had a problem with the order of sound cards - sometimes differed between individual booting, I solved it by forcing the order by module name:
$ cat /etc/modprobe.d/snd-cards.conf options snd_intel8x0 index=0 options snd_ens1371 index=1 options snd_usb_audio index=2 options snd_pcsp index=3

In my box I have a Gigabyte GA-Z87N-WIFI parent board (motherboard is sexist) which has two built in sound cards, as revealed by command "cat /proc/asound/cards":
0 [HDMI ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel HDMI HDA Intel HDMI at 0xf0634000 irq 47 1 [PCH ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel PCH HDA Intel PCH at 0xf0630000 irq 43
Command "lspci|grep -i audio" elaborates:
00:03.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation Haswell HD Audio Controller (rev 06) 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation Lynx Point High Definition Audio Controller (rev 05)
I have installed in my Wheezy box packages arts-trinity, alsa-base, alsa-utils, alsaplayer-alsa, alsaplayer-common, and alsaplayer-gtk.
After considerable research and experimentation worthy of a PhD candidate I found that I needed the same configuration Nicholas used but put in a different place, perhaps because I was using alsa on top of or in replacement of arts-trinity, I am not sure which.
It can be either in ~/.asoundrc or -- if system wide application is desired -- in directory /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf.d. According to the README in that directory any file written there ending in .conf will be used by alsa. So I created in that directory file asoundrc.conf with the same configuration Nicholas used. That file was necessary before I could get any sound.
This configuration is apparently the minimum necessary to get the PCH sound card to work. I however assume that to use the HDMI sound card, which eventually I will want to do, something more in that file (or possibly in another .conf file in that directory) will be necessary. Compare for example the output of alsa command "aplay -L" -- not here quoted.
I am also confused by the output of command "cat /proc/asound/oss/sndstat":
Sound Driver:3.8.1a-980706 (ALSA emulation code) Kernel: Linux TH 3.16.0-0.bpo.4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.16.7- ckt2-1~bpo70+1 (2014-12-08) x86_64 Config options: 0
Installed drivers: Type 10: ALSA emulation
Card config: HDA Intel HDMI at 0xf0634000 irq 47 HDA Intel PCH at 0xf0630000 irq 43
Audio devices: NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG
Synth devices: NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG
Midi devices: NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG
Timers: 31: system timer
Mixers: NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG
If sound is working, why the four lines containing "NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG" -- unless this information (or misinformation?) is referring to another sound system that is either not installed or I am not using.
Also important if using alsa is to run alsamixer and open any required boosters. Not being sure which ones I needed, for good measure I opened them all.
The three websites listed below -- especially the first two -- I found of most help in activating sound in my box:
