Hi, Another solution to keep pulseaudio installed is just to inactive it before running bb. Within systemd user session you can do:
systemctl --user mask pulseaudio.socket systemctl --user stop pulseaudio.service And then activate back your pulseaudio service: systemctl --user unmask pulseaudio.socket systemctl --user start pulseaudio.service Hope it helps! ;-) ps: pulseaudio -k is generally not enough for many reasons.
