That's all well and good, but who is your computer trying to communicate with?

This is webrtc - like skype in the browser, and SSRC is the synchronization source, roughly speaking, the old contact.

Regards.

I had a bad experience using refracta.

Therefore, it is safer to format “/” in advance and first install the entire OS along with /home on this partition, and then move to /home on another disk.

The OS must be installed on a clean, formatted “/” partition.
Nothing good will come from a mixture of the old installation and the new one.

 media.ffmpeg.vaapi.enabled  

I tried it before
There was no sound.
And these are the autoplay settings

Regards.

For example, vlc requires libgtk-3.so.0.

P.S.
Of course it's up to you, your computer...
But, if you make a minimal set of programs, then why do you need Conky?
The computer itself works great without our constant control, but it’s not a steam engine.

Regards.

I've already tried it with apulse, the effect is even more interesting.
Immediately after loading the OS we launch

exec apulse firefox

We load the youtube page, there is no sound, moreover, the sound from other programs disappears.

If you first start playing vlc, for example, then its sound is there, but after the subsequent launch of FF with apulse, it loses information about codecs.

vlc continues playing, FF is silent

We were all newbies once.
But sometimes we step on our own tail!
Even now, after more than 20 years of using Linux, I, to my shame, do not remember the CLI commands and have to open man.
And if it is possible to use a GUI, I would rather use it.
So maybe it would be more correct to suggest this path to a neophyte than to force him to study RTFM?

OpenSuse has a wonderful Yast, Pclinux has a system configurator, maybe they care more about the convenience of users and we should follow their example?

This is Devuan with Trinity 14.2 default, standard kernel, with Chimaera it was 100 MB less (I posted it somewhere on the forum earlier).

My computers are also more than Google's 10 years old. But today the question is no longer in the OS itself, but in browsers. Everyone wants YouTube (by the way, Chrom based browsers are preferable for the latter on old computers, their codec is faster, Google’s monopolists...) and saving memory on DE is becoming irrelevant.

Best regards guys.

I'm not an alsa guru, just my understanding of the situation.
In the file /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf there are lines

  defaults.ctl.card 0
defaults.pcm.card 0
defaults.pcm.device 0

  Therefore, if there is only one sound card, then the /etc/asound.conf file is not needed to select it.
The sound on my desktop with one card works without this file.

The netbook has two audio devices - HDMI and the actual sound card. Hdmi is defined as the first device, so to output sound to a speaker or headphones you need this same selection file /etc/asound.conf.

Here we can add that due to the flexibility of alsa settings in different wiki there are different tips, including placing the contents of the selection file (/etc/asound.conf) in the home directory under the name /.asoundrc.
This will work if all other settings in  /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf   are are suitable for the specific case.

Thank you very much, you are right!
I take my words back.
"plughw" works, after this command the sound from alsa started working.

Regards.

This reads like a thriller!

I apologize, I don’t have a Fujitsu Lifebook U728, but on my Lenovo s205 I deleted all the Win partitions, formatted it under MBR and installed Linux (different).

In my experience, the success of the installation depends on the combination of the BIOS-method of writing to a flash drive-installation program. I can give an example with Slackware, when its live clone was installed without problems, but I was never able to launch live Slackware itself.
 
Fujitsu Lifebook U728 is certified by Suse, I think any other Linux should work.

Why not try downloading any Devuan live image and play with it before installing?
As a long-time follower of Kde-Tde, I used Exe GNU/Linux, it works out of the box.

@greenjeans

Glad to welcome you!
I'm sorry, I don't quite understand what 68 mb you're talking about.
