After using sudo board-config.sh to update my pcDuino v3B various things stopped working and I have written about some of them in the previous posts.  One ting I did not check before the upgrade though, was whether I had sound in my browser and things like smplayer and vlc.  XBMC worked and for my original purpose that was all I was interested in.
But the more I got involved in this magic little computer, the more I wanted to try other things.  And during that process I discovered the ONLY thing that had sound was XBMC.  So I did a little snooping.  And found a simple solution - for me at least.
Now at the time i didn't write down everything I did.  It was after midnight and I was exhausted.  But I know I did:  
sudo apt-get install pavucontrol 
I can;t remember if that installed all the other pulse audio stuff or if i had to also do:
 sudo apt-get install pulseaudio
But if you have this problem, try the first.  If it still doesn;t allow you to set up audio, try the second as well.
After I did this i could adjust sound settings from the volume icon on the panel.  Then I had ausio output in everything inclusing YouTube videos!
Cheers,
