[Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#985666: alsa-utils: no sound after installation

[Nick Gawronski]

Hi, I am not sure if any desktop login screen is active as no sound is 
played just the boot beep from vmware player.  After the system boots I 
just login using ssh to check if things are running and this is how I 
found that espeakup and pulseaudio are running. If anyone has a windows 
10 pro 64 bits system vmware player 16 work station free they can test 
this out.  I had to go into the virtual machine settings under sound 
card to tell the virtual machine to use the system's speakers on the 
internal sound card as if I leave it at auto detect during the 
installation at anytime the speech is lost but the installer is still 
running but if I specify what sound device to use from my usage the 
speech is not lost.  Nick Gawronski
