I have been running Debian for over 20 years, but I want to avoid
systemd, so I am trying out Devuan.
I installed ASCII a last year and just did an upgrade to Beowulf about a
week ago. My goal now is to get Beowulf to run close enough to my
Debian Stretch system that my wife and daughter can't tell the
difference. I mount the same partition on home for both Debian and
Devuan, so that keeps the local configs the same.
The issue that I am having is with sound. My daughter reported that it
was not working. I tried playing a video (in Firefox) from my login and
also got no sound.
I have since determined that pulseaudio was not running (it is
installed). So I started the pulseaudio daemon under my login, started
up Firefox and played a video. Sound. Yay! I logged into my
daughter's account and started the pulseaudio daemon, started Firefox
and played a video. No sound. Boo!
The I started pavucontrol under both logins. My login shows the 'Built
in Analog Stereo' output device, and its monitor for input. My
daughter's login shows a 'Dummy' output device and its monitor for
input. under my wife's login, it shows the same 'Dummy' devices as my
daughter's login .
1) If anyone can tell me how to get pulseaudio to see my built-in audio
for all three logins, it would be greatly appreciated.
2) How do I get pulseaudio to run for each user when they log into the
system.
3) The 'play' utility from the sox package gives an error whenever I try
to play an mp3 file. Using 'aplay' to play .wav files works fine. What
do I need to do to play mp3s from the commandline?
(NOTE: I boot to console only. Each user switches to a different VT and
runs startx from there.)
Thanks for any help.
Marc
