The volume controls in the browser and desktop show the sound is not disabled. There are no errors about missing codecs or anything like that. The media plays, but there is no audio coming out from the speakers (which are on). Audio and speakers worked fine in the distro I was using before installing GNU with Guix. > > > > Maybe I need additional packages or services? > > > > I do *not* experience this issue on GNOME. > > I presume you are using %desktop-services in your configuration.

The volume seems on and the card seems not muted: https://multimedialib.files.wordpress.com/2019/05/alsamixer-guix-system-1.0.png When I press F6 I see "(default)" selected, and there are no more options, except for an "enter device name..." option. > There also is a program `speaker-test` in alsa-utils for basic testing.
