Hi,
Trying to solve my sound problem step by step, it occured to me that PulseAudio does not seem to autospawn as is should per https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Softwa ... r/Running/
Is there an application that would allow me to verify this? I Eg, a software that rely on PulseAudio and should always trigger libpulse.
Thanks in advance!
How to test if PulseAudio is correctly autospawning

Re: How to test if PulseAudio is correctly autospawning
When I launch pavucontrol, it stalls on “Establishing connection to PulseAudio. Please wait…”
And pactl info confirms that PulseAudio is not running as I get “Connection failure: Connection refused
pa_context_connect() failed: Connection refused”.
Any idea why is PulseAudio not autospawning?

Re: How to test if PulseAudio is correctly autospawning
Congrats. My first step is to disable autospawning in /etc/pulseaudio/client.conf (there might be a file oder dir like .pulseaudio in your home dir as well) to prevent it from grabbing my audio interface. I start pulseaudio with jack-sink activated after jackd is running. Can be automated with a sessioni script or within qjackctl or other tools.rotindo wrote:Hi,

Maybe I'm not understanding something, but why have pulse audio running at all?
Does anyone really want undefined sound sources jumping in when they feel like it?

get rid of udev and timer scheduling
load static ALSA sink when needed
swap ALSA sink for JACK sink when needed
optimised to rest of system and it is a useful tool

Re: How to test if PulseAudio is correctly autospawning
Which version of Pulseaudio and distribution/repository ?rotindo wrote:Any idea why is PulseAudio not autospawning?
If you have had version update recently, try clearing user configuration folder ~/.config/pulse/
do you have old configuration folder ~/.pulse ? remove it
restart pulsaudio with:
Code: Select all
pulseaudio --kill && pulseaudio -v
