[06:39] =-O [17:03] ubuntu audio [17:04] Hi. I'm trying to access my pulseaudio to no avail. How do I get that access? [17:04] Sbur3: pavucontrol? [17:05] OvenWerks: How do I use that? I get messsages telling me that access to pulseaudio wis denied [17:06] Sbur3: which os/ditro are you using? How are you trying to access pulse? [17:07] OvenWerks: "Establishing connection to PulseAudio. Please wait..." [17:07] Sbur3: (i'm a little confused) Is pulse unable to access the audio device maybe? [17:08] OvenWerks: Ubuntu Studio 17.04 64 bit. Kodi and Mixxx can output audio, but that's it. [17:09] OvenWerks: Give me a command to see which is the problem [17:09] Ah, so probably jack is running and has control of the audio device [17:09] cd /tmp && wget http://jackaudio.org/downloads/adevices.sh && bash ./adevices.sh [17:10] (all one line) will tell you quite a bit. you can paste that to a paste site [17:10] (like pastebin.com [17:11] then post the url to the paste here [17:12] OvenWerks: https://pastebin.com/My25Rr0e [17:12] OvenWerks: If I don't answer quickly, it is because I am going to eat dinner, but I'll be back === Sbur3 is now known as Sbur3_brb [17:13] Sbur3_brb: that should not be the output of the whole line [17:14] Sbur3_brb: you have downloaded the script into /tmp, but not run it so try: [17:14] bash /tmp/adevices.sh and paste that [17:30] OvenWerks: https://pastebin.com/tKnrafMJ [17:31] Ok pulse should be able to see any of those devices. === Sbur3_brb is now known as Sbur3 [17:31] OvenWerks: So whatdo I do? [17:31] pavucontrol still can't start? [17:32] is this a new install? [17:32] OvenWerks: New install of what? Pavucontrol continues to hang [17:33] It almost seems as if something is missing, because pulse generally just works. [17:33] new install of ubuntustudio [17:33] I would try a reboot just to be sure though. [17:34] if pavucontrol is having trouble connecting it seems pulse is not running and can't be started [17:35] 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] This is not an issue I had while running 17.04 (my normal use is still 16.04) [17:36] Sbur3: have you installed any other sw since OS install? [17:39] 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] Sbur3: they at least show audio works. [17:41] Sbur3: maybe in a terminal try killall -9 pulseaudio [17:41] OvenWerks: I don't know what to do ... I'll try that [17:42] Sbur3: then try running pavucontrol again. [17:43] OvenWerks: Before I try to retry pavucontrol ... look at this ...https://pastebin.com/XRRqLgdB [17:43] OvenWerks: That's the paste of killall [17:44] Sbur3: are you logged in twice? [17:45] OvenWerks: I don't even know how to do that [17:45] (as two users?) [17:45] OvenWerks: I'm not schizo ... yet [17:45] Ok, then try sudo killall -9 pulseaudio [17:45] (will require user password) [17:48] 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] OvenWerks: That seems to work. Gonna try a youtube to see if I hear the music [17:52] OvenWerks: Hey, that deserves a great big THANK YOU [17:52] ;) [17:55] 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?
