[lubuntu-users] always have to use pulseaudio volume control?

[Marlon Ng]

Hello guys.  I was just wondering if installing Pulseaudio Volume Control
is really necessary to have sound in a Lubuntu system.

The default is ALSA Mixer, correct?  When I was started using Lubuntu and
there was no sound, someone told me to install Pulseaudio, and I have been
using Pulseaudio ever since, it is one of the first things I install in
order to have sound.

My question is, is it really necessary? Isn't there a way to make ALSA
mixer work? Because if it doesn't work, then why is it always bundled with
Lubuntu?

Thanks!
