Hmm, does /etc/xdg/autostart/pulseaudio.desktop exist? Not sure why
GNOME isn't autostarting it.

That looks good.

Unfortunately, that is missing the most important part: the "sink
output" section. That should indicate whether or not you're just a

-------------------------------------------
T.C.
/etc/xdg/autostart/pulseaudio.desktop does exist and
"Exec=start-pulseaudio-x11" is one of the line items of the file.
Sorry, I did not include the whole output of pacmd here it is :
[user at Re02 ~]$ start-pulseaudio-x11
