[SOLVED] Cannot start zoom. "No PulseAudio daemon running"
I've installed zoom via the AUR package.
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/zoom
When I run zoom I get the following output in the log file, ~/.zoom/logs/zoom_stdout_stderr.log
ZoomLauncher started.
Zoom path is: /opt/zoom
cmd line:
Start subprocess: /opt/zoom/zoom sucessfully, process pid: 61071

zoom was exited due to a handled signal: 5
ZoomLauncher exit.I definitely have pulseaudio running:

I also know that pacmd is working to detect my audio devices.

...I'm fairly sure that Zoom still uses pacmd to interface with pulseaudio. So, why can't it connect to my socket, when everything else seems to be able to?
Any zoom config settings that I should try?

Re: [SOLVED] Cannot start zoom. "No PulseAudio daemon running"
My issue was actually that I didn't have Xorg-XWayland running!
PulseAudio was a red herring. While I do have to restart my audio interface every time I launch Zoom now in order to get it to work, Zoom does work now.

Re: [SOLVED] Cannot start zoom. "No PulseAudio daemon running"
add [SOLVED] in your title, for tiding things up.
nice work for finding out that xwayland was the problem. still don't see a link between it and pulseaudio...
Why I run Arch? To "BTW I run Arch" the guy one grade younger.
And to let my siblings and cousins laugh at Arsch Linux...

zoom started.
zoom was exited due to a handled signal: 5 This signal and the subsequent exit were due to Zoom not finding X11. There is still an audio issue but I can deal with it by restarting my USB audio devices.

Re: [SOLVED] Cannot start zoom. "No PulseAudio daemon running"
Hey @rhodes, I'm working on a similar thing. I want to run zoom on an aws ec2-vm and then connect to a zoom call from that ec2 server. Is that possible?
I've run into the exact same issue you have, I installed x11 and xwayland as well, but it still pops out the same error. I've run the sanity checks you add in the first post as well but still same issue.
