Not a real solution, but a kind of workaround
]]>- Did you maybe have an important module blacklist entry before you switched to systemd and forget to make it systemd compliant?
- Is systemd starting something sound-related that you didn't have before?
- Can you find out, where "hothot" is getting its sound device choice from? Might be your DE's settings...
If nothing else helps, you can try having pavucontrol started BEFORE the panel / hothot, so pulseaudio has dips on the sound card. This is a bad'ish workaround, but adding a panel plugin for pulseaudio mixer might just work if it gets loaded first.
]]>Since I have switch to systemd, I have annoying problem with pulseaudio.
If I want to use vlc to listen music for example, I don't have sound.
After lots of searchs, I have found a way to unlock the sound.
I do this :
$ fuser -v /dev/snd/*
UTIL. PID ACCÈS COMMANDE
/dev/snd/controlC0: hedy 870 F.... hotot-gtk3
/dev/snd/pcmC0D0p: hedy 870 F...m hotot-gtk3
/dev/snd/timer: hedy 870 f.... hotot-gtk3
We can see the sound device is used by hotot.
I kill it with a kill -15 870
I restart pulseaudio :
$ pulseaudio --kill
$ pulseaudio --start
After did this, I have this :
$ fuser -v /dev/snd/*
UTIL. PID ACCÈS COMMANDE
/dev/snd/controlC0: hedy 1683 F.... pulseaudio
And now, I can use vlc (or other sound application !)
How can I fix this definitely ?
