Package: pulseaudio
Version: 12.2-4
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
I've PulseAudio selected as 'autostart', but there is no sound.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
* What was the outcome of this action?
Inspecting my Beowulf system I noticed that only this was running:
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/xfce4/panel/wrapper-2.0 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-
gnu/xfce4/panel/plugins/libpulseaudio-plugin.so 21 18874412 pulseaudio
PulseAudio Plugin Adjust the audio volume of the PulseAudio sound system
Moreover, attempt to start pavucontrol or mixer from the Xfce panel
results in the mixer hanging with ""Establishing connection to
PulseAudio" message.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
Running pulseaudio and working sound.
However, I've found the solution to the problem by browsing Debian's
bugtracker - see:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=923203
So, solution, for Beowulf and probably Ceres is to uncomment
#00-disable-autospawn.conf
line in $ /etc/pulse/client.conf.d/00-disable-autospawn.conf
and then pulseaudio is correctly started as it is visible by:
$ ps ax | grep pulse
