No refusal, just that I got this information meanwhile from FFADO maintainer (before I got around reporting it at Debian) and it solved it for me. So I shared that it here because perhaps it is not a bug at all.
I have also been relaying feedback from the FFADO maintainer on issues reported at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libffado as he doesn't have an account at Launchpad. This might close a lot of those bugs. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Studio Bugs, which is subscribed to libffado in Ubuntu. Matching subscriptions: Ubuntu Studio Bugs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1926641 Title: FFADO 2.4.4 only runs properly with sudo Status in libffado package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Starting FFADO 2.4.4 from the menu does not list a device and reports in the GUI the following error: Somehow the connection to the dbus-service of FFADE couldn't be established. and had the log message: logginghandler: Could not communicate with the FFADO DBus service... When starting FFADO from the command line with sudo ffado-mixer-qt4 no error is reported and the sound device is listed and usable. Please, fix that the default/normal user that can change sound settings can also use FFADO directly when launching it from the menu.
