It's part of the package ubuntu-sounds that apparently isn't installed in Kubuntu by default (no wonder, the description says "Ubuntu's GNOME audio theme"). Since the script is run with sh -e it stops at the first failure and therefore pulseaudio is not initialized correctly (for example, module-device-manager isn't loaded which prevents configuration of device preferences). To me this sounds like a missing dependency of the pulseaudio package on ubuntu-sounds package. System information: Kubuntu 17.04 pulseaudio version 1:10.0-1ubuntu2 Expected behaviour: script /usr/bin/start-pulseaudio-x11 runs correctly and properly initializes pulseaudio Actual behaviour: script doesn't run correctly and therefore pulseaudio isn't initialized properly.
