The initial report included this: i am member of the following groups: audio pulse-access pulse-rt
the pulseadudio FAQ states that: http://pulseaudio.org/wiki/FAQ#Sounddoesntworkwhenswitchingusers Check that no users are part of the "audio" group. In fact, the pulseaudio server is designed to grab exclusive use of the audio hardware. If some other application access the hardware, it may block pulseaudio access. Also, if not running a "system-wide pulseaudio daemon", which I believe is not the case here, the other groups have no effect. From "man pulseaudio": If PulseAudio is running as a user daemon this group has no meaning for both pulse-access and pulse groups. Maybe the problem here is that some application is grabbing the sound hardware before the pulseaudio daemon? -- Mark Cross Buy land - they've stopped making it. -Mark Twain -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
