Guix seems to have some unique difficulties with `startx', which I 
don’t fully understand, but I’ve seen several folks in #guix 
struggling with it.  I use the default gdm display manager.

I’ve never had to do anything special, I log in, there’s sound. 
EMMS has a facility to control the volume, which I use.  If I need 
more advanced sound stuff, I use pavucontrol.

You can use the emacs-blight package (which I’m the author of) for 
this.  You’ll need to add your user to the `video' group.

I’m not sure what the package list is for this, but I think the 
question is kind of vague.  I recommend installing the packages 
you want to use -- a complete installation will just waste disk 
space if you’re not using everything.
