PulseAudio daemon won't start

Hi all.

I installed PulseAudio under KDE, then uninstalled it when I ran into issues with Flash. Now I'm trying to reinstall it, but the daemon fails to start. I don't see the correct auto devices in KDE's Multimedia settings and when try to start it manually from the terminal, I see:

[rob@arch ~]$ pulseaudio --start
E: [pulseaudio] main.c: Daemon startup failed.

If I run the same command with the -v flag instead of --start, I get lots of output that suggests everything is going OK, but then the process simply terminates with the message "Killed". Here's the full output. Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot further?

[rob@arch ~]$ pulseaudio -v

Re: PulseAudio daemon won't start

For what it's worth, I already tried the troubleshooting steps in the wiki to no avail. I also tried uninstalling PulseAudio again, deleting /etc/pulse and then reinstalling.

Re: PulseAudio daemon won't start

Normally you don't have to start pulseaudio manually when using kde, just relogin after installing and kde should start the pulse daemon, check with

ps aux |grep pulse

otherwise start the daemon with

start-pulseaudio-kde

but again this should not be necessary.

Re: PulseAudio daemon won't start

Thanks for your reply. I've confirmed through ps that the daemon is not starting automatically. As for start-pulseaudio-kde, the first thing it does is call pulseaudio --start, which is what I'm already doing. So no joy.

Re: PulseAudio daemon won't start

Of course does this thing call pulseaudio --start, but it does additional kde stuff as well, just read the man page.
But you get the same output as in your first post?

Yes, same output.
