An ACPI client is a program that displays computer ACPI information, typically power and thermal statuses.

The Advanced Configuration and Power Interface, or ACPI, is the interface through which the operating system and client programs can control features in your computer's firmware.

Usually this is used with an ACPI client or opaquely controlled by the operating environment.

Most audio servers recommend that they be run in userspace with user privileges, with PulseAudio going so far as to exiting when run as root without additional configuration.
|

The Alpine wiki currently recommends <CODE>pipewire(1)</CODE>, with postmarketOS, which is based on Alpine, coming pre-configured with PipeWire.
|
||||
PipeWire is relatively new and the typical audio server used is PulseAudio; Debian and many popular Debian-based distributions come pre-configured with PulseAudio.

The Alpine wiki ("Adding sound") says to install <CODE>alsa-conf</CODE>, <CODE>alsa-lib</CODE>, and <CODE>alsa-utils</CODE>,
|
||||
add yourself to the <CODE>audio</CODE> group, and then do some more configuration that I've never needed to do:
|
||||
Use <CODE>alsamixer(1)</CODE> to find a working sound card (press <CODE>F6</CODE> from the first screen ALSAMixer presents)
|
||||
and edit <CODE>/usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf</CODE> and change <CODE>defaults.ctl.card</CODE> and <CODE>defaults.pcm.card</CODE> to the sound card that works.
|
||||
</P>
|

<P>
|

The Alpine wiki doesn't mention this but you'll need to enable the <CODE>alsa</CODE> OpenRC service and either start it or reboot.

I also installed <CODE>gstreamer</CODE> but I don't know why.

ALSA is clunky, many people prefer to use a frontend such as Pipewire or PulseAudio that exposes its own interface while remaining compatible with ALSA.
