Dear list,
I have spent now many hours trying to understand why pulseaudio is not
working when I boot with systemd, but works when booting with sysvinit.
I found the culprit could be this:
[gabx@magnolia:~]$ aplay -l
aplay: device_list:252: no soundcards found...
What is strange is that all my devices are recognised and modules
loaded.
$ lspci -v

$ pulseaudio
E: [pulseaudio] pid.c: Daemon already running.
E: [pulseaudio] main.c: pa_pid_file_create() failed.
when I open the volum control in XFCE panel:
GStreamer was unable to detect any sound device. Some sound system
specific GStreamer package maybe missing. It may also be a permissions
problem.
To sum up, I don't understand why my sound devices are not recognized. I
may have misconfigured something in systemd set up, but I have no idea.
Thank you for your help, as this is the only issue when booting with
systemd.
