Hello Tanu, thanks for your reply. I just looked it up : ps -aux | grep -i pulseaudio rosika 1539 0.0 0.4 976248 17244 ? Sl 12:54 0:00 /usr/bin/pulseaudio --start --log-target=syslog rosika 2870 0.1 0.4 443636 16320 ? Sl 13:00 0:01 /usr/bin/pulseaudio --start --log-target=syslog rosika 3276 0.0 0.0 21536 1048 pts/2 S+ 13:20 0:00 grep --color=auto -i pulseaudio So for both processes I seem to be the user..... Strange. As display manager I guess I have lightdm, as I use Lubuntu. Nevertheless I´ll try setting "exit-idle-time = 0" in /etc/pulse/daemon.conf . Gretings.
