When I checked pulse audio it said that the server was not running. But do I have to use pulse audio or can I use alsa. If I can use alsa what do I have to do to get it running. I do not have much experince with pulse and I am comfortable with alsa. Thankyou for your time I would really like to use foresight for my main distro.

Just un-mute maybe.

The reason why I need to desktop sound to work is because I am blind and I need the orca screen reader to work. when I hit alt f2 and type in orca it brings up orca but there is no sound so I can't hear the screen reader. This is the only problem I currently have. Thankyou for your help.

The fact that there might be some system ?bip? is not an indication that sound is available. Normally, pulseaudio is launched by gnome session. For mine, I have two entries for pulseaudio: - pactl load-module module-x11-xsmp - start-pulseaudio-x11 I suspect that one of these (the first) is just an old entry that stayed there from an older version of pulseaudio (but nothing certain). Moreover, pulseaudio depends on console-kit/policy-kit for managing its rights. Therefore if there is a problem with them, pulseaudio won't run (there was a time several month ago when that occurred on 2-qa). To check that you have a session, you can run ?ck-list-sessions? in a terminal. You can also access the rights manager in the ?System ? Preferences ? Authorizations? menu. I don't have more information for now, hope that this will help you.
