Then, my assumption is that the issue is having both alsa and
pulseaudio working at the same time, which works now but not
so well previously. I will make some tests myself on a previous version
tomorrow (it's late here), but probably you need to upgrade Slint
to the current version.
Please tell if you tried both in a console (aka tty) and in a graphical
environment, so that I can reproduce your situation.
Best,
Didier
