First I needed to completely purge and reinstall Pulseaudio. One way to do this is to run the command: sudo apt-get --purge --reinstall

Join Date Jul 2006 Location United States Beans 190 DistroKubuntu [SOLVED] PulseAudio - Connection Failed: Connection Refused Hola, I've had this problem since I installed Hardy, and though I have googled and searched for days now, a solution still eludes me. When I https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=802367 run "PulseAudio Device Chooser" and go to "Volume Manger" where I should be able to toggle volume for individual streams, I get this frustrating message: Connection failed: Connection refused I had found some posts that looked like they might help but all they did was make it so that sometimes after I restart PulseAudio will connect, then randomly later on in the day, it will fail. (posts are here, and here for reference) When I try to restart PA this is what I get: Code: ~$ pulseaudio -D E: main.c: daemon startup failed. I'm almost 100% sure that I've installed every package for PA also. I'm rather tired of restarting my computer just to get PA working for a while Any and all help is really appreciated. [EDIT]]I've now been able to isolate and consistently reproduce the problem! After I restart the computer, if I don't first type in pulseaudio -D before playing any sound, then I cannot initialize the daemon the rest of the session, I have to restart the whole system, not just the GUI. So it seems like PA isn't being initialized on start up, if I can tell KDE or the kernel to fire it up, then I think the problem can be solved. How can I do this? [SOLVED]: I've solved the problem for me, including restarting the PA daemon and have outlined my steps in my blog: http

Also affects distribution/package Nominate for series Bug Description My sound always worked, including after the pulseaudio transition in Hardy. connection refused gstreamer-properties sets the default out- and input to pulseaudio, and has done so, sucessfully, for quite a while. After running a full-upgrade on Monday (I had performed none since Friday morning), I noticed that totem-gstreamer had no sound. Other video players that support pulseaudio (xine, mplayer) have no sound when using pulseaudio either. When I run to connect to the test in gstreamer-properties, I see the error message from the subject. When setting gstreamer to Alsa, the test succeeds; xine and mplayer sound is also fine when using alsa. There are errors in the logs, grep pulse /var/log/* gives: /var/log/syslog.0:Mar 25 21:26:57 chronic pulseaudio[16432]: alsa-util.c: Error opening PCM device hw:0: Device or resource busy /var/log/syslog.0:Mar 25 21:26:57 chronic pulseaudio[16432]: module.c: Failed to load module "module-alsa-sink" (argument: "device_id=0 sink_name=alsa_output.pci_8086_27d8_sound_card_0_alsa_playback_0"): initialization failed. /var/log/user.log:Mar 25 21:26:57 chronic pulseaudio[16432]: alsa-util.c: Error opening PCM device hw:0: Device or resource busy /var/log/user.log:Mar 25 21:26:57 chronic pulseaudio[16432]: module.c: Failed to load module "module-alsa-sink" (argument: "device_id=0 sink_name=alsa_output.pci_8086_27d8_sound_card_0_alsa_playback_0"): initialization failed. /var/log/user.log.0:Mar 19 00:02:07 chronic pulseaudio[6789]: shm.c: shm_open() failed: No such file or directory /var/log/user.log.0:Mar 19 00:02:07 chronic pulseaudio[6789]: pstream.c: Failed to import memory block. /var/log/user.log.0:Mar 19 18:34:46 chronic pulseaudio[8145]: shm.c: shm_open() failed: No such file or directory /var/log/user.log.0:Mar 19 18:34:46 chronic pulseaudio[8145]: pstream.c: Failed to import memory block. lspci: 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (re

I don't really know what I did to cause this (more on that later) but pulseaudio seems to crash whenever I try using it. If I try to play an mp3 file with Clementine, I get: pa_stream_writable_size() failed: Connection terminated Vlc seems to be playing but there is no sound output and I get a stream of the following error messages on the terminal window I launched it from: [0000000001e24418] pulse audio output error: unknown latency: Bad state [0000000001e24418] pulse audio output error: cannot write: Bad state [0000000001e24418] pulse audio output error: unknown latency: Bad state [0000000001e24418] pulse audio output error: cannot write: Bad state The similar problems I've found online seem to have solutions involving the removal of gstreamer. I would rather not do this since there are quite a few packages depending on it, including Cinnamon, my DE. I also don't see how this could be the problem since the sounds was fine until I started fiddling with it. The only command I ran that might have affected this was my attempt to add my onboard sound card to the list of cards detected by pulseaudio. Sadly, my machine crashed in the meantime and I had to do a hard reboot so I lost the exact command I ran but it was something along the lines of: pactl load-module module-alsa-card device_id="0" name="pci-0000_00_05.0" card_name="alsa_card.pci-0000_00_05.0" namereg_fail=false tsched=yes fixed_latency_range=no ignore_dB=no deferred_volume=yes use_ucm=yes I am guessing that I used the wrong parameters there and added the same card twice or one of them with a
