Thank you very much, I hope to be able to try this out at a later time.

Ok, many thanks anyway.

Hmmm, I do have dbus on the system, however I have tried to start it before starting Pulseeffects and it still did not work (same problem with greyed out check boxes). I then tried to restart dbus and my system crashed so I rebooted and was back to square one. Better not fiddle with it, it seems. I ...

Thank you for yet a another fast reponse. Yes, I went with sudo apt-get install pulseeffects. My original suspicion is that I am running lxde which is very light weight, is there any chance that Pulseeffects cannot work properly with lxde? I google around on "pulseeffects dbus" based on th...

Thank you for your reply. It lacks the checkboxes to the left, a checkbox has to be clicked to be able to enable an effect, since no checkboxes work, I cannot enable any effect at all. Other buttons on Pulseeffects do work. I have installed lsp-plugins.

Kindest regards

Update: I have found some things that appear to work, I write pulseaudio --start to start pulseaudio. After that I can issue pavucontrol to be able to set volumes. But I also am occasionally writing amixer set Capture toggle and amixer set Capture 40% - 40% and amixer set Master 45% to be able to se...

Ah, yes, thank you this makes sense. I *do* have alsactl as root so I'll have to sudo the times I need run alsactl. I think there is only one minor issue left now, and that is that to start and successfully run pavucontrol I need to manually invoke pulseaudio --start and directly after that start pa...

Thank you for your reply. I think then that there must some misunderstanding, this is from a prompt this evening: johnny@aramies:~$ sudo apt-get install alsa-utils [sudo] password for johnny: Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done Reading state information... Done alsa-utils ...

This actually got the Pulseaudio running:
I can now also run PulseAudio Volume Control !

Thanks again, certainly, here are the reponses: I run lxde as a desktop. cat /proc/1/comm yields systemd I found the amixer commands for setting the Headphone volume and it seems to be persistent between boots so I think that bit is ok. However I got a bash: alsactl: command not found when trying to...

Thank you very much for your response. Indeed it seems that pulse is not running, the output of pgrep -a pulse is empty. However, in my ignorance I unfortunately do not know how to use that information. The result of aplay -l is **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH]...

Dear Forum, I run Debian Bullseye. I am quite lost when it comes to audio. I suspect that my system is not working somehow but since I know so little of how it should work, I find it hard to ask good questions. So I really do not know where to begin, educate myself to be able to ask good questions o...
