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.
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.
