[SOLVED] Not starting Pulseaudio

Hello to everyone,

I'm experencing issues with pulseaudio. Probably I messed it up by removing an conflicting package (pulseaudio-control)...

The daemon doesn't start and it doesn't exist 

[gab@archlinux ~]$ sudo systemctl status pulseaudio
Unit pulseaudio.service could not be found.
[gab@archlinux ~]$ sudo systemctl status pulseaudio.socket
Unit pulseaudio.socket could not be found.
[gab@archlinux ~]$ sudo systemctl --user enable pulseaudio
Failed to connect to bus: No medium found
[gab@archlinux ~]$ sudo systemctl --user status pulseaudio
Failed to connect to bus: No medium found

Re: [SOLVED] Not starting Pulseaudio

pulseaudio is a user service... as that name implies it's ran per user, so you check the status with "systemctl --user status pulseaudio" -- note the lack of a sudo. It's ran from your normal user, so you check the status as your normal user.

You'd not get that output out of pactl if pulseaudio wasn't running, so what's your actual real issue, which you haven't mentioned anything about? I see the sources are considered suspended, which might happen if you run things with pasuspend or have conflicting services or a particular application that might trigger this. What do you get from 

sudo fuser -v /dev/snd/*
pactl list cards
pactl list sinks
pactl list sink-inputs
pactl list source-outputs

Re: [SOLVED] Not starting Pulseaudio

I've tried to run as you said and I discovered it was masked (idk why)

[gab@archlinux ~]$ systemctl --user status status pulseaudio
Unit status.service could not be found.
○ pulseaudio.service
     Loaded: masked (Reason: Unit pulseaudio.service is masked.)
     Active: inactive (dead)
TriggeredBy: ○ pulseaudio.socket
[gab@archlinux ~]$ systemctl --user unmask pulseaudio
Removed '/home/gab/.config/systemd/user/pulseaudio.service'.
[gab@archlinux ~]$ systemctl --user status pulseaudio
○ pulseaudio.service - Sound Service
     Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/user/pulseaudio.service; disabled; preset: enabled)
     Active: inactive (dead)
TriggeredBy: ○ pulseaudio.socket
[gab@archlinux ~]$ systemctl --user enable pulseaudio
Created symlink '/home/gab/.config/systemd/user/default.target.wants/pulseaudio.service' → '/usr/lib/systemd/user/pulseaudio.service'.
Created symlink '/home/gab/.config/systemd/user/sockets.target.wants/pulseaudio.socket' → '/usr/lib/systemd/user/pulseaudio.socket'.
[gab@archlinux ~]$ systemctl --user status pulseaudio
○ pulseaudio.service - Sound Service
     Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/user/pulseaudio.service; enabled; preset: enabled)
     Active: inactive (dead)
TriggeredBy: ○ pulseaudio.socket

The issue is that doesn't start on boot like before (caused by the daemon, maybe?), when I try to start it manually doesn't start right away but I have to kill it and start again. Because youtube and/or spotfiy can't "load" the media.


And here's the output as you requested: 

[gab@archlinux ~]$ sudo fuser -v /dev/snd/*

Re: [SOLVED] Not starting Pulseaudio

You're mixing wireplumber and pulseaudio which is generally problematic in it's own right. If you want to switch to the more actively maintained pipewire, install pipewire-pulse and let it replace pulseaudio.

Re: [SOLVED] Not starting Pulseaudio

Thanks so much for your help. I've "solved" by uninstalling pulse and use pipewire
