dwm is just a window manager: you will need to get sound working yourself. Start with the sound page on the wiki and, depending on your sound card, select a solution that fits your requirements

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sound

Also, please edit your thread title to reflect that it is a sound, not wm issue.

How do you boot to openbox v. dwm?

gregor · 2011-06-26 23:41:53

from ~/.xinitrc

#exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch openbox-session

while true; do
xsetroot -name "$( date +"%F %R" )"
sleep 1m # Update time every minute
done &
exec ck-launch-session bash -c "xfce4-power-manager & dwm"

With openbox-session, pulseaudio is started because "session" starts whatever gnome and kde start also.. If you started just openbox, you won't have sound either. I think it's

pulseaudio --start &

in your .xintrc before dwm.

xsetroot -name "$( date +"%F %R" )"
sleep 1m # Update time every minute
done &
exec ck-launch-session bash -c "dbus-launch & pulseaudio --start & dwm"

sound is up and running

thnx
