@ Ben

I understand audio works fine in the other DEs, because you mention it occurs in XFCE in an all-DE instal. However, you don't really say that. Does sound work fine in Plasma5, Gnome, etc?

Comment 3 Ben McMonagle 2016-05-03 00:25:10 CEST

in the 6-in-1 install, I first checked LXDE, Mate then Cinnamon DE. sound was ok there.
When  checked XFCE-no sound. for some reason pulse audio had stopped running.
As I had restarted it,  I cannot say that it would have not been working in Gnome and Plasma5 as I checked those two DE after I had restarted PA.

progression from LXDE to Plasma5 was just logout, change DE and login. no reboot

(Plasma5 DE was checked first this time)

See if the update to PulseAudio 9.0 in Cauldron improves things.

Is this bug still valid for newest 6sta2?
