I have disabled bluetoothd because I don't need it, and pulseaudio seems to have a problem with that: -bash-4.2$ pulseaudio E: [pulseaudio] bluetooth-util.c: Error from ListAdapters reply: org.freedesktop.systemd1.LoadFailed So I can start it manually when I need it. I found it will stop running after a while automatically. However, espeak speaks even when pulseaudio is not running. Permissive mode doesn't seem to make a change. When I switch to my second user with "su - secure" and ask aplay, it says: bash-4.2$ su - secure Password: secure@yun:~$ aplay -l aplay: device_list:256: no soundcards found... secure@yun:~$ aplay dbz.wav Playing WAVE 'dbz.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 48000 Hz, Stereo ^CAborted by signal Interrupt... secure@yun:~$ There is no sound for secure though the user lee is running pulseaudio. When I stop pulseaudio as lee, secure still doesn't have sound, and secure can run pulseaudio with the same error message and still doesn't have sound. Can't I just get rid of pulseaudio and make sure the modules for sound devices are loaded in the right order so I can use alsa? Pulseaudio only makes it much more complicated, and it doesn't have any advantages for me. And how come that aplay sometimes finds soundcards and sometimes not, depending on which user it runs? -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
