I discovered this report while I was trying to run VKeyBD with Timidity and I couldn't get sound (config as per Bug #101949). I uninstalled the daemon and it worked but I think the problem was that a second instance from a previous attempt was interfering. I installed the daemon again and rebooted. Everything worked after that. I did notice some related syslog messages:
Nov 11 02:11:05 sherwood-l1 pulseaudio[14179]: core-util.c: Home directory /etc/timidity not ours. Nov 11 02:11:05 sherwood-l1 pulseaudio[14179]: lock-autospawn.c: Cannot access autospawn lock. Nov 11 02:11:05 sherwood-l1 pulseaudio[14179]: main.c: Failed to acquire autospawn lock Can't reproduce your bug on my system but check your syslog and see if you have similar messages. -- Timidity - default install - run as daemon does not make sound https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/462864 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
