Good afternoon,

As the topic says, I'm unable to find any installation of Devuan Excalibur with KDE Plasma DE on which sound works out of the box.

I don't have the needed knowledge to know what produces this, and I'm tired of investigating about that, so any help is welcome

Troubleshoot I've done:

-> Sound works out of the box when installing Devuan Excalibur with XFCE DE

-> Sound DON'T work installing Devuan with Plasma DE with any init, including SysVinit, OpenRC or runit.
There are installed some Pipewire, alsa and pulseaudio packages, so I don't think that don't having X package is the problem.

On Plasma, I've tried this by reading some similar new topics on this forum, that allows to sound to work. On a fresh-installed Devuan Excalibur Plasma system:

-> Create a .sh file, for example pipewire.sh
-> Write on that file the next:

#!/bin/bash
wireplumber &
pipewire &
pipewire-pulse &

-> Make that file executable
-> Run terminal on pipewire.sh location folder, then inside it, run ./pipewire

Sound should work right now. To make that works everytime session is booted: System Settings -> Autostart -> Add New, then select the .sh file you created before.

So, I like to know why something work or don't work on my system, and I am very surprised that this thing (dont having sound work out of the box) dont affect to some people, except someone here for example (https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=7776).

Help is very apreciated, as I have looked for a solution for weeks and I'm tired up. I'm using Devuan as I can't hibernate my laptop with Systemd, and I liked a lot using Devuan with XFCE, but I need to use a Qt based DE because I almost only use Qt apps, and personally I like more Plasma... please, I would like to know why this problem happens to me and where does it comes from, I like to know why things happen!

UPDATE: if I log off, sound will not work unless I run manually ./pipeware.sh on a terminal. Pleasee help
