Hi,
I'm setting up siduction on a new box. Most things work well but I can't get sound working.
effo@siductionbox:~$ lspci -nn | grep -i audio

effo@siductionbox:~$ cat /proc/asound/cards

effo@siductionbox:~$ aplay -l

In KDE Multimedia settings I have tested all devices but no luck. Backend VLC. GStreamer is installed too but I never tried that.
Any ideas on how to solve this...?
did you look at a mixer, like pavucontrol? your system uses pulseaudio, so pavucontrol or veromix are better suited than kmix. Make sure nothing is muted.

I installed pavucontrol but when I run it I get
"Connection to PulseAudio failed. Automatic retry in 5s
In this case this is likely because PULSE_SERVER in the Environment/X11 Root Window Properties
or default-server in client.conf is misconfigured".
Reboot, but still the same.
BTW, I doesn't seem to have pulseaudio installed...

It seems like you failed to install it completely.

Description-en: PulseAudio client libraries
PulseAudio, previously known as Polypaudio, is a sound server for POSIX and
WIN32 systems. It is a drop in replacement for the ESD sound server with
much better latency, mixing/re-sampling quality and overall architecture.
.
Client libraries used by applications that access a PulseAudio sound server
via PulseAudio's native interface.

So it doesn't require pulseaudio.. Shall I apt-get it?
I don't use it, so dunno. But as you like to use it (and may people account it for a good piece of SW) why don't you give it a try.
On the other hand, still we don't know whether or not the output is muted. So open a VT (virtual terminal) and open "alsamixer". It works without pulseaudio. Look for muted devices, especially master and pcm. And if not, give gstreamer a try.
I installed Pulseaudio and now sound seem to work. Thanks for helping me
