Hi, The problem is: Failed to connect PA server using user account A, when pulseaudio server is launched by different user account B. Is it normal? [Description:] =========== 1> If pulseaudio server is launched by normal user, su to another user, ex. "root". Log ----- [root at localhost data] pacmd E: pacmd.c: No PulseAudio daemon running [root at localhost data]# paplay s16_44khz_stereo.wav Connection failure: Connection refused [root at localhost data]# ps -eaf | grep pulseaudio haohaot 7746 7724 0 11:26 pts/15 00:00:00 pulseaudio -D root 7861 7800 0 13:18 pts/16 00:00:00 grep pulseaudio 2> if pulseaudio server is launched by root, and another normal user to access PA server, failed too. Log ---- [haohaot at localhost data]$ pacmd E: pacmd.c: no PulseAudio daemon running [haohaot at localhost data]$ paplay s16_44khz_stereo.wav Connection failure: Connection refused [haohaot at localhost data]$ ps -eaf | grep pulseaudio root 7885 7867 0 13:21 pts/15 00:00:00 pulseaudio -v haohaot 7919 7892 0 13:21 pts/16 00:00:00 grep pulseaudio Tested on 0.9.12 and 0.9.10. (I remember ever tired on 0.9.13, the same result) [Comments] =========== It seems only the user who launched the PA server, could connect. For other user, even root, it failed. Is it normal?? I found one similar problem before: Ticket #222 "pacmd doesn't work with pulseaudio running as a system-wide daemon" Hao
