The pulseaudio executable fails which is also logged in my user.log. Another way to find out is e.g. to use the command pulseaudio --dump-modules to list the PA's modules. This gives the following initial output:
I: caps.c: Limited capabilities successfully to CAP_SYS_NICE. I: caps.c: Dropping root priviliges. I: caps.c: Limited capabilities successfully to CAP_SYS_NICE. N: main.c: Called SUID root and real-time/high-priority scheduling was requested in the configuration. However, we lack the necessary priviliges: N: main.c: We are not in group 'pulse-rt' and PolicyKit refuse to grant us priviliges. Dropping SUID again. N: main.c: For enabling real-time scheduling please acquire the appropriate PolicyKit priviliges, or become a member of 'pulse-rt', or increase the RLIMIT_NICE/RLIMIT_RTPRIO resource limits for this user. W: main.c: High-priority scheduling enabled in configuration but not allowed by policy. W: ltdl-bind-now.c: Failed to find original dlopen loader. The file pulseaudio has the suid-bit set but still fails so it seems that the statement "For enabling real-time scheduling please acquire the appropriate PolicyKit priviliges" is what is missing. -- [Jaunty] Sound muted on boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/296738 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
