I've seen that problem once earlier at #pulseaudio, and in that case everything seemed fine. I'm not a shared memory expert, so for me "everything" means the following (you can check these too): /dev/shm is mounted as tmpfs and the permissions are correct (i.e. the same as on my own machine): drwxrwxrwt 3 root root 80 21.4. 05:40 /dev/shm A workaround which should get your sound back is to uncomment (the semicolon is a comment character!) the disable-shm line in daemon.conf and set the value to "yes". -- Tanu Kaskinen
