HOWTO: PulseAudio Fixes & System-Wide Equalizer Support

[dansan]

Thanks for the fast response. Mine had to wait as I am based in Iceland (GMT), so I didn't see your post till I got home (computer involved is my office desktop). Here is the output you requested.

...Please post the verbose log of PulseAudio (see Appendix B)

$ pulseaudio -k; sleep 4; pulseaudio -vv

I: main.c: Called SUID root and real-time/high-priority scheduling was requested in the configuration. However, we lack the necessary priviliges:
I: main.c: We are not in group 'pulse-rt' and PolicyKit refuse to grant us priviliges. Dropping SUID again.
I: main.c: For enabling real-time scheduling please acquire the appropriate PolicyKit priviliges, or become a member of 'pulse-rt', or increase the RLIMIT_NICE/RLIMIT_RTPRIO resource limits for this user.
I: main.c: Note that real-time/high-priority scheduling is NOT normally required. If you experience crackling or other sound anomalies, consider one or more of the above solutions.
I: main.c: High-priority scheduling enabled in configuration but now allowed by policy. Disabling forcibly.
I: main.c: setrlimit(RLIMIT_NICE, (31, 31)) failed: Operation not permitted
I: main.c: This is PulseAudio 0.9.10

But these changes still didn't change the Pulse Audio Volume Control to give me an option to output through my speakers.

Edit: this temporary version of the PulseAudio Fixes guide has been removed. Please look to the original location of the guide for the latest instructions.

Thanks!

Wow! I think your forum name should be psyke83_MAGICIAN. This worked like magic. It got my onboard sound card registerered with Pulse Audio Volume Control, enabling me to set it as default. Now I can listen to sound on my speakers. What a relief!

(it's my first attempt, so there could be issues)

It looks and feels like top professional work, but if anything comes up, I'll be sure to drop you a line.

Many thanks!

psyke: Thanks, now my pulse audio setup works fine after adding your PPA. However, installing flash plugin through your PPA throws an error:

Flash has a couple of new dependencies, and libcurl3 is one of them - but the new package should have installed the new dependencies. Can you verify if it's installed on your system?

$ sudo dpkg -l | grep libcurl3

I suspect that nspluginwrapper tried to "wrap" the libflashplayer.so library before libcurl3 was successfully installed, but I can't be sure.
