pulseaudio is not and has never been a sound system. Pulseaudio is a sound system manager. Without alsa or jack pulseaudio by itself will not produce sound since it has no underlying sound system to manage. Another possibility which is going away fast for sound systems is oss. If pulseaudio is installed, I would do it and make sure all dependencies for pulseaudio are also installed. Then you'll need to do the equivalent of unmute master in pulseaudio and set master to a percentile and save that setting so it survives a reboot.
