FYI, if you intended to include a screenshot, none appeared.  In any
event, it is regarded as bad netiquette to blast out attachments to
large numbers of people on public mailing lists.  It's deemed more
polite to put (e.g.) your image on any of countless free image-hosting
mailing list and post the URL instead of file-attaching it out to an
entire mailing list's membership.  (That way, only people wanting your
attachment will be spending downloading time fetching a copy.)


Best guess:  You need to do a bit of work with pavucontrol so that LXDE
thinks there's a valid sound profile of type 'Analog Stereo Output'.
