@ 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

valid for 

Mageia-6-sta1-i586-DVD.iso

(Plasma5 DE was checked first this time)
Comment 5 David Walser 2016-08-26 16:50:30 CEST 
See if the update to PulseAudio 9.0 in Cauldron improves things.

Is this bug still valid for newest 6sta2?
