I do *not* experience this issue on GNOME. I presume you are using %desktop-services in your configuration. When you run: guix environment --ad-hoc alsa-utils alsamixer Is the volume turned off or is the sound card muted? You can mute and unmute with the M key and select your sound card with the F6 key. There also is a program `speaker-test` in alsa-utils for basic testing. Regards, Florian
