HI! Sometimes when I open the PulseAudio Volume Control said: Connection failed: Connection refused, and the sound in some applications doesn't work. Does anyone know how to fix this?
It seemed that it happens on F8 often.
True. Recently on F8 (this is a fresh install from Dec 9th after seeing too many broken things) it fails to start for me during reboot:
# grep pulse /var/log/messages Jan 6 07:20:54 faldor pulseaudio[2336]: pid.c: Daemon already running. Jan 6 07:20:54 faldor pulseaudio[2336]: main.c: pa_pid_file_create() failed. # pidof pulseaudio
# ll /tmp/pulse-misc/pid -rw------- 1 misc misc 5 2008-01-06 03:18 /tmp/pulse-misc/pid # cat /tmp/pulse-misc/pid 2332
I've had to remove the pid file manually to make it work.
I've seen the same, about 1 in 5 boots; same messages in /var/log/messages. Get the following in ~/.xsession-errors:
process 2901: dbus_shutdown() called but connections were still live. This probably means the application did not drop all its references to bus connections. D-Bus not built with -rdynamic so unable to print a backtrace
Trying to start pulseaudio manually says: [tbl@localhost ~]$ pulseaudio E: pid.c: Daemon already running. E: main.c: pa_pid_file_create() failed. process 3489: dbus_shutdown() called but connections were still live. This probably means the application did not drop all its references to bus connections. D-Bus not built with -rdynamic so unable to print a backtrace Aborted [tbl@localhost ~]$
After figuring out to run with '-v' I get this working startup (obviously, lock/pid file timed out):
[tbl@localhost ~]$ pulseaudio -v I: main.c: PolicyKit grants us acquire-high-priority privilige. I: main.c: We're in the group 'pulse-rt', allowing real-time and high-priority scheduling.

Something BZ'ed here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=426965
Not sure if this is the same.
