I'm having some really strange sound issues. I use Rhythmbox to listen to mp3s and radio stations. After a while, maybe 20-30 min, the music will just stop. I'll try to play another song or another radio station and I'll hear a second or so of music, then a pause then a split second and nothing else. During this time, the elapsed time for the song stays at 0:00. I've figured out that if I type pulseaudio -k I get the following: [Chris@localhost ~]$ pulseaudio -k I: caps.c: Limited capabilities successfully to CAP_SYS_NICE. I: caps.c: Dropping root priviliges. I: caps.c: Limited capabilities successfully to CAP_SYS_NICE. N: main.c: Called SUID root and real-time/high-priority scheduling was requested in the configuration. However, we lack the necessary priviliges: N: main.c: We are not in group 'pulse-rt' and PolicyKit refuse to grant us priviliges. Dropping SUID again. N: main.c: For enabling real-time scheduling please acquire the appropriate PolicyKit priviliges, or become a member of 'pulse-rt', or increase the RLIMIT_NICE/RLIMIT_RTPRIO resource limits for this user. W: main.c: High-priority scheduling enabled in configuration but not allowed by policy. I then start VLC, play an mp3 and I get all the distorted sound that people have been talking about but it plays. I got this on the command line from VLC which looks pulseaudio related: I: caps.c: Limited capabilities successfully to CAP_SYS_NICE. I: caps.c: Dropping root priviliges. I: caps.c: Limited capabilities successfully to CAP_SYS_NICE. Finally, if I close VLC and open Rhythmbox, I can miraculously listen to the radio and mp3s!
