I have a fresh installed Debian 10 on vmware esxi that seems to (as far as I can tell) detect sound card but despite my best attempts, I haven't been able to get any audio out of it.
Sound card is motherboard onboard audio (Supermicro X11SCA-F, Realtek ALC 888S).
- Code: Select all
dmesg | grep sound

Alsa seems to init fine:

All outputs show up fine on alsamixer, they are all maximum volume, and I'm trying to play an mp3 through aplay, play and test pattern with speaker-test. I have tried all outputs including HDMI output sound and nothing ever seems to have any sound on. Unfortunately this is where my troubleshooting skills end. There's no desktop environment installed since I intend to run this as an mpd server and no one will directly need to use it. I appreciate any assistance you can provide. Thank you.
