Hi everyone: I am in the office with my computer ( Linux tumbleweed), and my kid of 3 years old is in another computer showing videos from youtube. Both computer have a normal user sound configuration ( each computer playing their own sound). Some videos are quieter and another are very loudness. With my first kid (10 years back) i do: 1)SSH as root 2)amixer and upper or lower the volume. Now i cant find a way to do this with pulseaudio. If i do 1)I do ssh as root successfully 2) 2.1) # amixer ALSA lib pulse.c:242:(pulse_connect) PulseAudio: Unable to connect: Connection refused 2.2) # alsamixer ALSA lib pulse.c:242:(pulse_connect) PulseAudio: Unable to connect: Conexión negada (Connection refused in spanish) 2.3) if i do sudo to the same linux user that is showing the video: user@computer> amixer XDG_RUNTIME_DIR (/run/user/0) is not owned by us (uid 1001), but by uid 0! (This could e.g. happen if you try to connect to a non-root PulseAudio as a root user, over the native protocol. Don't do that.) ALSA lib pulse.c:242:(pulse_connect) PulseAudio: Unable to connect: Connection refused How i can control the sound volume of my kid from my computer?
