[17:03] <studio-user417> ubuntu audio
[17:04] <Sbur3> Hi. I'm trying to access my pulseaudio to no avail.  How do I get that access?
[17:04] <OvenWerks> Sbur3: pavucontrol?
[17:05] <Sbur3> OvenWerks: How do I use that?  I get messsages telling me that access to pulseaudio wis denied
[17:06] <OvenWerks> Sbur3: which os/ditro are you using? How are you trying to access pulse?
[17:07] <Sbur3> OvenWerks: "Establishing connection to PulseAudio. Please wait..."
[17:07] <OvenWerks> Sbur3: (i'm a little confused) Is pulse unable to access the audio device maybe?
[17:08] <Sbur3> OvenWerks: Ubuntu Studio 17.04 64 bit. Kodi and Mixxx can output audio, but that's it.
[17:09] <Sbur3> OvenWerks: Give me a command to see which is the problem
[17:09] <OvenWerks> Ah, so probably jack is running and has control of the audio device
[17:09] <OvenWerks> cd /tmp && wget http://jackaudio.org/downloads/adevices.sh && bash ./adevices.sh
[17:10] <OvenWerks> (all one line) will tell you quite a bit. you can paste that to a paste site
[17:10] <OvenWerks> (like pastebin.com
[17:11] <OvenWerks> then post the url to the paste here
[17:12] <Sbur3> OvenWerks: https://pastebin.com/My25Rr0e
[17:12] <Sbur3> OvenWerks: If I don't answer quickly, it is because I am going to eat dinner, but I'll be back
[17:13] <OvenWerks> Sbur3_brb: that should not be the output of the whole line
[17:14] <OvenWerks> Sbur3_brb: you have downloaded the script into /tmp, but not run it so try:
[17:14] <OvenWerks> bash /tmp/adevices.sh and paste that
[17:30] <Sbur3_brb> OvenWerks: https://pastebin.com/tKnrafMJ
[17:31] <OvenWerks> Ok pulse should be able to see any of those devices.
[17:31] <Sbur3> OvenWerks: So whatdo I do?
[17:31] <OvenWerks> pavucontrol still can't start?
[17:32] <OvenWerks> is this a new install?
[17:32] <Sbur3> OvenWerks: New install of what?  Pavucontrol continues to hang
[17:33] <OvenWerks> It almost seems as if something is missing, because pulse generally just works.
[17:33] <OvenWerks> new install of ubuntustudio
[17:33] <OvenWerks> I would try a reboot just to be sure though.
[17:34] <OvenWerks> if pavucontrol is having trouble connecting it seems pulse is not running and can't be started
[17:35] <Sbur3> OvenWerks: I changed computers.  I had to rip Windows 10 off of it. (With a serious - dod -program to wipe the hard drive) Then I downloaded Ubuntu Studio 17.04 and installed it
[17:35] <OvenWerks> This is not an issue I had while running 17.04 (my normal use is still 16.04)
[17:36] <OvenWerks> Sbur3: have you installed any other sw since OS install?
[17:39] <Sbur3> OvenWerks: I like installing SW. Any kind in particular that I should worry about?  Like I said, Mixxx and Kodi work with audio playback.  I put them on after OS install.  But I had that on the older computer, so that shouldn't be an issue
[17:41] <OvenWerks> Sbur3: they at least show audio works.
[17:41] <OvenWerks> Sbur3: maybe in a terminal try killall -9 pulseaudio
[17:41] <Sbur3> OvenWerks: I don't know what to do ... I'll try that
[17:42] <OvenWerks> Sbur3: then try running pavucontrol again.
[17:43] <Sbur3> OvenWerks: Before I try to retry pavucontrol ... look at this ...https://pastebin.com/XRRqLgdB
[17:43] <Sbur3> OvenWerks: That's the paste of killall
[17:44] <OvenWerks> Sbur3: are you logged in twice?
[17:45] <Sbur3> OvenWerks: I don't even know how to do that
[17:45] <OvenWerks> (as two users?)
[17:45] <Sbur3> OvenWerks: I'm not schizo  ... yet
[17:45] <OvenWerks> Ok, then try sudo killall -9 pulseaudio
[17:45] <OvenWerks> (will require user password)
[17:48] <Sbur3> OvenWerks: That gets me into volume control, but on the task bar on the top of the screen, there are two "speaker" looking icons
[17:50] <Sbur3> OvenWerks: That seems to work.  Gonna try a youtube to see if I hear the music
[17:52] <Sbur3> OvenWerks: Hey, that deserves a great big THANK YOU
[17:52] <Sbur3> ;)
[17:55] <Sbur3> OvenWerks: Can I ask you one last question... In the "Volume Control" window, there is "Built-in audio" on one hand, and "High Definition Audio Controller" on the other.  What could "High Definition ..." do in good or bad?
[18:01] <OvenWerks> huh he's gone...
