Which might or might not give some clues. The bit at the bottom of the page might be worth trying. Remove wine- pulseaudio. Trouble is it also takes out Wine which I would like to keep. <sigh> Tried to remove pavucontrol and reinstall. Still nothing. Tried modprobe snd-hda-intel and modprobe pulseaudio but obviously that's not going to work. Result was ... Module pulseaudio not found in directory /lib/modules/4.3.5-300.fc23.x86_64. But that could be me trying the wrong modprobe command. Also tried... https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=154002 I did pactl list. It said... XDG_RUNTIME_DIR (/run/user/1000) is not owned by us (uid 0), but by uid 1000! (This could e g happen if you try to connect to a non-root PulseAudio as a root user, over the native protocol. Don't do that.) Connection failure: Connection refused pa_context_connect() failed: Connection refused Killed pulseaudio and restarted as a user with service pulseaudio restart. Might have to reinstall the whole system. Was hoping to stay away from that one. -- Richard -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
