Hi,
I'm having some issues with Pulseaudio (well, I have sound only half
of the times I boot my system...)
These are the synthoms:
mplayer file1.avi
....
AO: [pulse] Init failed: Connection refused
Could not open/initialize audio device -> no sound.
Audio: no sound
....
I tried with
$ pulseaudio -k
E: main.c: Failed to kill daemon.
I can't find the pulseaudio process. What's its name? Can I kill it if
it doesn't kill itself?
Sorry, pulseaudio -D worked.
However, I had sound cause pidgin was playing sounds each time I
received a message, though with an unusual delay (2 - 3 seconds after
the message arrival), so pulseaudio was running. Does -D perform any
kind of forced restart?
Thanks again
Thanks in advance.
