go Synaptic-->search-->mark to install-->pulseaudio -->pulseaudio-client-config-->pulseaudio-esound-compat-->apply, on popup window -->apply. Exit synaptic. Reboot

go root pcc-->Hardware-->audio/sound configuration-->enable pulseaudio-->use Glich free mod (is checked by default)-->Accept-->exit pcc-->Exit synaptic. Reboot.

go to firefox-->www.youtube.com-->music-->click any song. (plays images but no sound)

Did you then go to the Playback tab of pavucontrol to see if the application was listed there as playing?

It seems very likely that the sound was playing into the 'incorrect' device.

The purpose of installing PulseAudio was to give you a GUI method of selecting to which device to send the sound. PulseAudio Volume Control is that GUI.

Should you lose sound again I suggest you try to use PA Vol Ctrl to see if it helps.

Look what is this?

[user1@localhost ~]$ pavucontrol

Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_main_quit: assertion `main_loops != NULL' failed
[user1@localhost ~]$

Are you saying that pavucontrol never worked for you?

OK ....  so you never used     pavucontrol    which means you never did get to the choice of which shound device should be used.


pavucontrol  depends on  Pulse Audio  working  .....   so you would first have to enable Pulse Audio  and reboot,  then use pavucontrol.

[user1@localhost ~]$ pavucontrol

Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_main_quit: assertion `main_loops != NULL' failed
[user1@localhost ~]$

What this really means is that pavucontrol was not even installed on my system  .

I have install it and checked the pulse-audio box on pcc. reboot pc and there was no sound again.

......  and did you then use PulseAudio Volume Control to get the sound to your preferred device?

[Loles]

I use headphones, no speakers, I just show at pcc->system->services, there is an entry for alsa that was not marked. Can that influence the Pulse behavior?

Now I have installed all related to pulseaudio and pavucontrol, checked the pulsaudio box in pcc sound config (speacker icoon), rebooted pc, and when i clik on volume control for pulseaudio in pc menu, i get a window saying conection failed conexion denied.  

My sound chip is Intel HDA driver (snd_hda_intel [ALSA])

and it simply refuses to work with pulseaudio.

[Just17]

In a terminal do the following

pactl stat

which would return a bunch of lines showing the status of PA.
If it is in error, which it appears then do the following

pulseaudio --use-pid-file=false

and Ctrl+Alt+Backspace  immediately

Log in again and try PulseAudio Volume Control.

If working it should connect and show a window of various tabs.

Other than that, the only other thing that comes to mind is (as previously posted) to untick PA in PCC, immediately reboot, and without doing anything else tick it again and reboot.
Then immediately try PA Vol Control.
