No sound from speakers or headphones on laptop [Solved]
Hello, i wanted to know if someone can point me in the right direction rather then installing unnecessary packages. I have no audio from my speakers or headphones. I installed the "alsa-utils" package during initial installation of the operating system and I posted some relative outputs below. Do I need the "pulseaudio" package? Or maybe I'm missing something.
$ speaker-test -c 2

Yes, installing pulseaudio and pulseaudio-alsa should solve your problem. It works for me without any problems and I have a similar setup.
Since you already asked about installing pulseaudio and if it will solve your problem or not in your post, you could have easily tried that by yourself!

Installing the "pulseaudio" package worked. Is there a difference between "pulseaudio" and "pulseaudio-alsa"?

pulseaudio-alsa is for alsa compatibility.
