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.
File a bugzilla ticket.
Your pulseaudio daemon obviously died. Please add output of "grep pulseaudio /var/log/messages" to the bugzilla ticket.
