Ok, I'll quote the attachment here: > root at salvator-x:~# pulseaudio -vvvv --system > W: [pulseaudio] main.c: Running in system mode, but --disallow-exit not set! > W: [pulseaudio] main.c: Running in system mode, but --disallow-module-loading not set! > N: [pulseaudio] main.c: Running in system mode, forcibly disabling SHM mode! > E: [pulseaudio] main.c: Daemon startup failed. > root at salvator-x:~# The "Daemon startup failed" message is only printed when trying to launch pulseaudio as a background process. You didn't pass --daemonize on the command line, so pulseaudio shouldn't try to start a background process. Did you put "daemonize = true" to daemon.conf? You said that you had no changes in daemon.conf, and if that's true, then the only explanation I can think of is that your version of pulseaudio has been modified to daemonize by default. -- Tanu https://www.patreon.com/tanuk
