Yes.

Both give info that makes sense.

Sound did work for me after the very first time of installation.

This, I bet, is related to permissions/ownership problem, I bet for 97.3 %

After I changed my home directory from /home/my_username to 
/host/home/my_username (everything else seems to work so far properly 
after that change)

I have seen many questions like this by googling. But no answer. I 
suspect that sound programs check not only for permissions and ownership 
but they look for standard user path (which is ... I do not know... 
rather not correct; or is it?). I will try to go back and see what happens.
