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
Playing sounds from a userid not "logged in" has always been very problematic and took me a lot of experimentations in the past. My current solution is something like: (this is run with the user logged in and "owning" the audio) pactl load-module module-native-protocol-tcp listen=127.0.0.1 export PULSE_SERVER='tcp:127.0.0.1:4713' pax11publish -e xhost si:localuser:mysecondaryuser where "mysecondaryuser" should be root in your case. This is basically - enabling TCP connections to pulseaudio (or pipewire emulation) - making the path available to users able to interact with the X11 session - enabling a user to access the X11 session No warranty that it will work in your case. No idea how this would be adapted when using Wayland instead of X11.
