Not at all, but my containers were installed months ago and I don't remember if I had to do anything to fix sound. However, while I don't remember if sound was working right away in LXC, I'm almost positive that sound on the SFOS side was not broken.

Have you tried toying around with Audio Output Chooser? I don't believe this would solve your issues, but it is worth investigating.

On the Proš, Pavucontrol shows I'm using "Droid sink deep_buffer" in the "Playback device" tab. In the "Output devices" tab, I have "Droid sink primary_output" and "Droid sink deep_buffer", both with "Port: Output to speaker (plugged in)".

1. If you install the mouse support it is easier to set up. However, you can do it with your fingers too. Go to "Start menu" then "Settings" then:

"Appearance" - under "Fonts" set the font size (for me: Default font: 26, Default Monospace font: 18
"Desktop" - under "Icons" set the icon size (for me File/launcher icons: 76)
"File manager preferences" - under "Side Pane" set the icon size within the file manager (for me both icon size: 64px)
"Onboard preferences" - set the preferred onboard style, layout and other stuff
"Panel" - under "Display" set the size of the panels (for me "Panel1 aka. Start menu" Row size: 76, "Panel2 aka Docker" Row size: 128) - Under "Items" you can set what apps/elements you would like to see on the panel.
"Window manager" - under "Style" set the "Title font" (for me is 26)
Beware that if you find the UI scaling setting (but I think it may not be available in xfce4 shipped with Buster, as said above), and set it to something too large, it won't be able to display the bottom of the windows, including that one. That means you cannot change this setting back to another value to fix it.

Don't reinstall though, there are workarounds: you may be able to scroll down this window if you use an external mouse (with the instructions above), or you can find a window called "Xsettings" (if I remember correctly, as I don't use xfce4 anymore) in Menu > Settings, and it should list all settings including the UI scaling at the bottom, with a handy scroll bar on the right. There is also a configuration file somewhere in /home/user/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xsettings.xml or /home/user/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfwm4.xml.

In the xsettings.xml fle, the UI scaling setting is the following by the way, so maybe you could try adding it and change the value even if your version of xfce4 doesn't offer it in the GUI, never know:

Code:
<property name="Gdk" type="empty">
  <property name="WindowScalingFactor" type="int" value="1">
</property>
3.
Try to play with the "Onboard preferences". For me, it works, however, I think it required to start the onboard first. (When I start it doesn't appear straight away, but when I go into an input field, it appears automatically. You can start automatically in "Settings"/"Session and startup"/"Application startup"
Yes that makes sense, I think Onboard has to be autostarted in any case. Maybe just add its .desktop file in ~/.config/autostart.
