Recently sound does not play as root

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Fedora 36 up-to-date.

$ uname -a
Linux e4.eyal.emu.id.au 6.1.15-100.fc36.x86_64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Fri Mar  3 17:22:46 UTC 2023 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I have a script running as root (using sudo) and in it I play a sound
	paplay /audio/ogg/beginning.ogg
and it always worked.

Then a few days ago it stopped and I now get an error. Something changed.

$ sudo paplay /audio/ogg/beginning.ogg
Connection failure: Connection refused
pa_context_connect() failed: Connection refused

$ sudo ogg123 -q /audio/ogg/beginning.ogg
ALSA lib pulse.c:242:(pulse_connect) PulseAudio: Unable to connect: Connection refused

=== Could not load default driver and no driver specified in config file. Exiting.

Is there a simple way to allow playing sounds in this context?

TIA
