OK, then I would suggest doing the following to investigate: Reboot your machine to start everything fresh. By default, pulse should not be running, but it is supposed to auto-launch the first time something tries to access it (triggered via the pulseaudio.socket systemd unit). Launch "pavucontrol" to trigger the pulseaudio auto-spawn. Look through pavucontrol and see if it's detecting your sound cards correctly. Also you can check that pulse is correctly running under your user: $ ps aux | grep [p]ulseaudio The first column of the result should be your username. --Sean _______________________________________________ pulseaudio-discuss mailing list pulseaudio-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/pulseaudio-discuss
