Re: Arch Linux:No sound on fresh install of mate.

I'm thinking lightdm on archlinux may well be incompatible with accessibility. There's lightdm-slick which may be worth trying if lightdm-gtk-greeter ultimately won't work. Next possibility is gdm with all that implies. Finally startx as a way in.

I think that'll be the greeter-user= option which is set to lightdm by default. That's all I did to /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf too and haven't got the system logging in yet.

I figured that out. I only set the greeter option in that and didn't
touch anything else.

If you're sure you've logged in, right now I'm pretty sure I haven't yet
managed that what happens when you run speaker-test -t sine?  If sound is

working you ought to hear a nearly continuous beep.

Yes pulseaudio is installed and it enabled it self. Mind that I'm
installing this on a harddrive I have laying around.

You do have pulseaudio-alsa installed on your system right?

So as you guys know I have been playing around with arch linux. When I
installed mate And rebooted I was able to log in. I had no sound. So I
couldn't hear orca. This is what I did.

pacman -S mate mate-extra
pacman -S lightdm lightdm-gtk-greeter
set lightdm-gtk-greeter as greeter in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
systemctl start lightdm
systemctl enable lightdm
pacman -S orca
dbus-launch gsettings set org.mate.interface accessibility true
dbus-launch gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.a11y.applications
screen-reader-enabled true
So I'm not sure what is wrong hear or what I missed. But I can't
unmute anything in alsamixer if I don't have sound to hear orca. I
even installed pulseaudio.
