AlmaLinux 9 and XFCE sound problem
Hey there, I installed Almalinux OS 9 on my notebook. I installed XFCE but I'm getting problem with audio because xfce4-pulseaudio plugin is missing and I can't change sound volume except on the specific program that play the music (In my case audacious and firefox). Currently I don't know if I must open a "please build xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin" on epel or if I should use something due to pipewire. I enabled also epel-testing to check if the package was in testing but seems missing. Someone has the same problem? Thank you in advance.

Thank you in advance.
Update: I compiled my own rpm xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin from fedora36 srpm. Not problem for this. It works as intended. Hope that this can help other users. Best regards.
This is a good opportunity for you to indulge yourself in rhythm games by clicking https://fnfunkin.onl . it's great!
My headless (and sound card-less) Almalinux 8.9 virtual private server is now accessible via an xrdp connection. My XFCE desktop is visible without any issues. [Since my host uses Nodeworx, I had no choice but to run xfce.] The sound on YouTube videos playing in Firefox on the headless system is really difficult for me to hear, and I'm just starting out with Linux. The PulseAudio Volume Control, which is installed on the VPS, indicates that Firefox is producing audio. The "Dummy" output device is being used. Even with my Windows Remote Desktop connection, which is set up correctly to play sound on my end, I am still unable to hear anything through my headphones. I don't think the PulseAudio plugin on GitHub is compatible with AlmaLinux; it only works with Ubuntu. https://dinosaur-game.io
You can try installing pavucontrol as a workaround—it works well with PipeWire and lets you control audio system-wide, even without the XFCE plugin.
The black screen occurs even for text-mode installs, because the failure happens before the installer switches mode.
