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:

I run Devuan and have alsa only - no pipewire or pulseaudio - on all my systems and I have perfectly working sound. On a RPi I had pulseaudio for alsa over bluetooth - pipewire never worked there.

Nik I've never tried it on Devuan. I'm the one who does the Trinity respib on PCLinuxOS and had sound as long as you didn't fully update to PW from PA, however some tried and lost sound. So I found the solution, noted below.
