The PA server has yet to deliver sound to my speakers. However, I noticed you had some special advice for someone configuring their M-Audio Delta44... I have an M-Audio Delta 66 and tried your suggestion for the M-Audio Delta 44: -------- So, what you'll have to do is edit /etc/pulse/default.pa. Comment out module-hal-detect and module-detect, and then add these lines (if you don't need the sources, leave them out): # Load Delta 44: load-module module-alsa-sink sink_name=delta_out device=hw:0 channels=10 channel_map=left,right,aux0,aux1,aux2,aux3,aux4,aux5,aux6,aux7 load-module module-alsa-source source_name=delta_in device=hw:0 channels=12 channel_map=left,right,aux0,aux1,aux2,aux3,aux4,aux5,aux6,aux7,aux8,aux9 # Set the default sink and source (not mandatory, intel-hda # would probably be used without this): set-default-sink delta_out set-default-source delta_in ----- The PA daemon is not starting and PA Manager is say "connection refused" . Not sure what to make of it, but your suggestions are welcome. Here's some output from /var/log/messages: > pulseaudio[7278]: main.c: Module load failed. > pulseaudio[7278]: main.c: failed to initialize daemon. > pulseaudio[7288]: pid.c: daemon already running. > pulseaudio[7288]: main.c: pa_pid_file_create() failed. > pulseaudio[7291]: pid.c: daemon already running. > pulseaudio[7291]: main.c: pa_pid_file_create() failed. > pulseaudio[7285]: module-alsa-sink.c: Failed to set hardware > parameters: Operation not permitted > pulseaudio[7285]: module.c: Failed to load module "module-alsa-sink" > (argument: "sink_name=delta_out device=hw:0 channels=10 > channel_map=left,right,aux0,aux1,aux2,aux3,aux4,aux5,aux6,aux7"): > initialization failed. > pulseaudio[7285]: main.c: Module load failed. > pulseaudio[7285]: main.c: failed to initialize daemon. > pulseaudio[7294]: module-alsa-sink.c: Failed to set hardware > parameters: Operation not permitted > pulseaudio[7294]: module.c: Failed to load module "module-alsa-sink" > (argument: "sink_name=delta_out device=hw:0 channels=10 > channel_map=left,right,aux0,aux1,aux2,aux3,aux4,aux5,aux6,aux7"): > initialization failed. > pulseaudio[7294]: main.c: Module load failed. > pulseaudio[7294]: main.c: failed to initialize daemon.
