Thanks for your report. Everything Thiago said is important, and it
would also help if you told us what you had tried to do. That is, what
are you using to make sound?

My basic sound test is to use mpg123 to play an MP3 file. You can use
the --output option to choose which output to play through, to be sure.
And you can use --list-modules to see what's available.

On Guix System, we aim to make applications use Pulseaudio by default,
so you can use `mpg123 --output pulse file.mp3` to test that. You can
also use `mpg123 --output alsa file.mp3` if you'd rather test ALSA.

Unfortunately I currently cannot test sound on Guix System with
linux-libre. However, it does work for me on a computer using Guix
System with a custom kernel.
