Fresh Daedalus: No connection to PulseAudio

torquebar · 2024-08-17 01:41:24

The actual message is:

Establishing connection to PulsxeAudio. Please wait...

But it never connects

Nothing untoward in lspci or in /etc/pulse/client.conf

Yes, thank you! It helped me discover that pulseaudio wasn't installed!

I would've thought that PAVC would have pulseaudio as a depend,

golinux · 2024-08-18 01:04:53

I hope that pulseaudio never becomes a depend. I have never used it and hopefully never will.

I meant that in terms of the PulseAudio Volume GUI. it should not install unless Pulse is installed. As far as ALSA, I might set one of my distros up to use it instead of Pulse but I have other sound issues to square away first.

After moving my stuff into a new case I can't get my Xonar-STX-III to make sound at all and I don't think it's an OS issue because with the only two bootable systems I have right now (Slackware and Devuan) it's the same situation. If I play a video then PA Volume Control shows the output in the slider but neither the Speaker nor the headset output can be heard.

I hope I haven't blown my card's output jacks in the move because this is a GREAT card with 1/4" and RCA jacks and I know of no replacement for it.

Hope you get it worked out . . .

Glad the link helped, torquebar. For future reference, that link and many more were from searching the message you posted, 'Establishing connection to PulseAudio. Please wait...' (without quotes). And searching 'linux Xonar-STX-III' may resolve the sound card problem. Eg: this was the first of many hits from the Xonar search: https://forum.level1techs.com/t/solved- … ntu/135742

Unless it's cutting-edge-new hardware or software, it's kinda rare to find a Linux problem others haven't found, and resolved.

Good luck.

also this seemed interesting:

the semicolon “;” at start of the line acts like a comment tag
you need to delete the semicolon or the setting is ignored
