task-pulse and pulse audio control problems ..

[scoundrel]

decided to take a look at pulse.did PCC-hardware-sound-mark pulse then reboot... . did not go as I would have liked.. this is what I got from pulseaudio

Code: [Select]

pulseaudio
E: [pulseaudio] main.c: Daemon startup without any loaded modules, refusing to work.


this is what I get running vlc ..

Code: [Select]

vlc

and this is, what i get from pulseaudio

Code: [Select]

pulseaudio
E: [pulseaudio] pid.c: Daemon already running.
E: [pulseaudio] main.c: pa_pid_file_create() failed.

So use again task-remove-pulseaudio
reboot
task-pulseaudio
pcc > enable pulseaudio
reboot


be happy

PulseAudio is not enabled correctly .....  there are no modules loaded for it to use.

pulseaudio
E: [pulseaudio] pid.c: Daemon already running.

This is normal, right?

Follow what Leiche has posted ......  disable and uninstall it, reboot, install and enable it, and reboot again.

It should then be enabled.

****
So use again
task-remove-pulseaudio   <selecting this removes PA)
reboot

Install task-pulseaudio   <Install PA again>
pcc > enable pulseaudio <Enable PA>
reboot                           <IMMEDIATELY reboot without attempting to use it>


Good luck 

[scoundrel]

have followed those directions and Tex's also and no go.. getting tired of trying to get this to work.. sure is nothing for a normal user to get done.. spent hours reading and trying ..


going back to alsa .. hope it still works 

[Just17]

How are you determining it is not working?

Are you launching PulseAudio Volume Control?

What is the result of doing so?

[ternor]

I didn't install the volume control initially.  It goes under the obscure name of 'pavucontrol'.

[scoundrel]

will take another look at this after I bake me a bread.. and 5 parasetamol .  head is about to explode 

[scoundrel]

K .. installed task-pulse and pavucontrol on to my fully updated LXDE.. went to pcc-hardw-sound and checked pulse.. reboot and went back to pcc to check and it was marked for pulse ..
these are the outputs from a few commands ..

Code: [Select]

[scoundrel@localhost ~]$ pavucontrol

if there is a different way of doing this I have not found it..

[Just17]

scoundrel can you post back the outputs of the following two commans - as user - in a trminal please

pactl stat


pactl list | grep -i "name: module"
