On laptops i have PClinuxOS with TDE. On 1 i did not install Pipewire etc: still sound.
On another i just let all the update come incl. pipewire etc. : no sound.
Does arts have a problem? Does Devuan have pipewire and can have TDE?
I -want- sound.
Please, who has some experience in this?

I don't blame you. Sound helps.
That said, pipewire, and the plugins pipewire-alsa and pipewire-pulse are all I have installed and sound works fine (It's really desktop agnostic) This should also pull in libpipewire which is the library pipewire depends on.
You will also want pipewire-tools (if PClinuxOS splits that into a separate package) to provide command line players like pw-play, etc.. (not necessary for system sound)
Nowadays, sound is generally configured as a user-service if you are using a systemd based distro (I've run just about every distro out there EXCEPT PClinuxOS, so I can't speak to it's config directly)
A good reference for getting sound setup with pipewire is https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PipeWire The packages there named and split the way Arch does it, but the general setup and config info is the same. It's a good reference (as just about all Arch wiki pages are)
Good luck.

Oops - forgot to mention that yes I did have to REBOOT after install and configuration to activate sound. Logout/login was not enough to load the services as they needed to be.
first make a folder in your home folder. something like .tmp. You have to add export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR= ~/.tmpPipewire will now work Alie (the one that did the trinity ISO's) On Wednesday 4 June 2025 at 01:22:38 BST, Frans via tde-users users@trinitydesktop.org wrote:
