OS: openSuSE Leap 15.3; KDE plasma desktop
To enable a system instance of pulseaudio, I made the following file
modifications suggested on the freedesktop.org
(https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/Documentation/User/SystemWide/)
and rudd-o websites
(https://rudd-o.com/linux-and-free-software/how-to-make-pulseaudio-run-once-at-boot-for-all-your-users):
Per freedesktop.org:
set autospawn = no in /etc/pulse/client.conf
added "root" and "jm" to pulse-access
Per rudd-o:
in /etc/systemd/system/pulseaudio.service, modified text for [service]
and [Install] (see rudd-o)
used systemctl to enable, start, and check the status of pulseaudio
The status request yields the following:
linux-6:/etc/systemd/system # systemctl --system status pulseaudio.service
● pulseaudio.service - Sound Service
Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/pulseaudio.service; enabled;
vendor preset: disabled)
Active: inactive (dead)
TriggeredBy: ● pulseaudio.socket
Condition: start condition failed at Wed 2021-10-06 12:16:38 EDT; 4s ago
