Failed to connect: Connection refused [Clementine]

Hello everyone.
I have this problem when I try to play a song from Clementine. I don't know what could be causing it because I have sound from every other source in my PC without problems i.e: Deadbeef, VLC, Dragon Player, Steam, etc.
I know it's not the collection database because I already erased it and rebuilt it.
I use KDE4 and I have installed gstreamer and its plug-ins.
If i type "sudo lshw" I see this in multimedia:

*-multimedia
             description: Audio device
             product: SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA)

Any guesses? Thank you in advanced.

Connection to where? where are your files located what do you want to play, do you have the gstreamer0.10 plugins (NOT the gstreamer 1 ones)? console output of clementine, soundserver yes/no?

Re: Failed to connect: Connection refused [Clementine]

My music is stored in my home folder, so I don't know where is Clementine trying to connect to.

    Phonon GStreamer backend for Qt4
extra/qt-gstreamer 1.2.0-1
    Qt4 bindings for GStreamer

And about Clementine's console output, this is what I get:

08:49:26.068 DEBUG unknown                          "  

I just noted this line:

connect(2) call to /dev/shm/jack-1000/default/jack_0 failed (err=No existe el fichero o el directorio)

Translation: "(err:= The folder or directory doesn't exist).

Could it be the source of the problem? How can I fix it? I looked for /dev/shm/ and the directory is empty.

Thank you.

Re: Failed to connect: Connection refused [Clementine]

It is trying to find a jack server and fails, so it can't play anything back. Maybe the default device has been set to something else when you installed jack or similar, refer to https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Gs … t_desktops for ideas on how to fix.

Re: Failed to connect: Connection refused [Clementine]

I think the problem is jack server. I installed jack2 and then jack-dbus (and even lib32-jack2 since I'm on 64-bit processor) to try either of the two but I always get the same error running sudo jackd -R -d alsa -d hw:0:

What does it mean "Failed to connect to session bus for device reservation /usr/bin/dbus-launch terminated abnormally with the following error: No protocol specified"?
What bugs me is that I have sound and record capabilities with all the other software I have installed. Maybe I just need to use another media player

Re: Failed to connect: Connection refused [Clementine]

Are you using jack for these other programs which work? do you WANT to use jack? if not you'll simply have to set gstreamer0.10 to use alsa instead of jack. If you want to use it, then I'm not really the most knowledgeable on the subjectso maybe someone else can chip in

Fore closure's sake: None of the programs you listed as having working sound use gstreamer0.10 so it makes sense that they work

Re: Failed to connect: Connection refused [Clementine]

I don't use jack, but according to the terminal output it is needed by gst and gstreamer so I can't just uninstall it.

About setting gstreamer to use alsa, I think this is my configuration, but just in case, I configured Clementine to use all the available options to produce sound. None of them worked.

I just installed Amarok and everything worked out of the box. If no one is giving me more light about it, I guess I'll just have to let it be.

Thank you V1del for your help.

Re: Failed to connect: Connection refused [Clementine]

I posted a wiki link on how to reset your gstreamer0.10 configuration to use another device, yeah jack as a package is going to be installed, but you can reset gstreamer.0.10 config to use alsa instead of jack. Amarok works because it uses gstreamer1 (or vlc depending on phonon) which have a different configuration.

Re: Failed to connect: Connection refused [Clementine]

I tried as the wiki suggested and still nothing. Now I'm using Amarok and I'm good. Thank you.
