Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Mageia 7.1 Xfce 64 bit

How reproducible:
Install Mageia 7.1 Xfce 64 bit and try to listen to *any* System Sound.
No sound is observed.  (I can't even click the speaker control to get a "boing" or other sound, just to determine if sound is working, and what level it is set to!)

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Install Mageia 7.1 Xfce 64 bit to hard disk.  Boot into it.
2.  Try steps to insure that System Sounds should be playing.
3.  Try to find where to assign individual sounds to system events (I couldn't find anywhere).
4.  Spend a couple of hours reading Forum and Google posts to get a clue as to whether this situation is "normal" for Mageia and/or Xfce!

Do you have experience of sound working on the same computer with another operating system?

Here are some things to try, please (post the results):
 $ dmesg | grep -i sound
shows whether it is recognised at boot.
 $ lspci -v
and post the 'Audio device' section.
 $ journalctl -ba
then /Sound<Enter> then n to see the next occurrence  [post the 'hit' lines]
 $ ps -ax | grep pulseaudio
shows whether it is running.

There is an item in MCC-Hardware-Configure Sound-Problem solving which is more exhaustive; perhaps you have already tried these, point 2 above..

See also Bug 25098; is this a duplicate? There are several bugs about pulseaudio not starting, but I think that is different.
