Unrelated hint: being in the pulse group isn't useful. When using the group authentication mechanism (which you aren't), you should add users to the pulsea-access group. The pulse user and group is only used as the user/group that pulseaudio runs under in the system mode. Being in the audio group is not really recommended either, because it breaks user switching (when two users are using their own pulseaudio instances, which you aren't doing). > It would be nice if someone has a hint for me! You can use "PULSE_LOG=9 pactl info" to get information about where pactl is trying to connect to. You didn't explain how you have configured clients so that they know to connect to /dev/shm/pulse-socket. -- Tanu https://www.patreon.com/tanuk https://liberapay.com/tanuk _______________________________________________ pulseaudio-discuss mailing list pulseaudio-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/pulseaudio-discuss
