I will now try the wiki archlinux ideas and let you know later.

Hi. Thanks for the reply. I am in a different time zone, so I may not respond to your answer right away. Not sure what your meaning is..
Should I run [lspci -knn | grep "Audio"] in terminal mode (command line) to determine what my audio is?

yes

Try to remove pulseaudio. At least it worked for me.

Hi. I have now successfully installed "devuan ascii _2.0.0_amd64 desktop-live.iso" on an iMac.
Everything works great, except the sound quality is so-so.
The sound worked before on the imac, so I think it is not a hardware problem.
It is a 64 bit system.
3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor.
Model: A1225
24" - seems to be from 2007.
Question: What might I do to improve the scratchy sound? It is present with Youtube (through various browsers) and Xine, and VLC.
Thanks for ideas/guidance.
