Granted my systems arent very new and most are from the 2007-2009 period with C2d cpus and Intel HDA.
Using these kernels, sound ceases to function, but if I change back to the 3.16 kernel, all is good. Now that said, Ive used the 4.1.8 kernel with Mageia 5 and none of of these same systems have any sound issues. So the question is whats different about Q4OS that causes the problem{PCLinuxOS also has this issue}.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
It appears to be a codec problem as Im presently using both the 1.4.3 and 2.0 versions and adding the various gstreamer codecs solves the issue. I realize that theres a reason not to include the various gstreamer cpdecs such as bad or ugly unless you need them but to be able to run videos on various sites, gain sound in html5 and youtube its a necessary evil. I ended up adding almost all the basic gstreamer codecs, bad-ugly-nice-alsa-pulseaudio-fluendo-ffmpg 0.10/1.0
