Alsa? Pulseaudio? In case you want to use pulse you will need to autostart it: exec --no-startup-id pulseaudio Maybe you will also want to think about using a tray mixer like Volumeicon or pa-applet ... In any case you should be able to check your audio-settings with alsa-mixer or pavucontrol respectively - maybe the sound is muted at the moment?Thu, 09 Jul 2015 15:42:09 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/6259/sound-doesnt-work/?answer=6260#post-id-6260
