Until now I just removed it because didn't had time to check. But today I've installed libpulse0-dbgsym and pulseaudio-dbgsym packages and I could trace (more or less) the problem. $ gdb pactl GNU gdb (Debian 7.12-4) 7.12 Copyright (C) 2016 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

This suggests the server is failing to start. Is there a pulseaudio process running?(my guess is not) Could you start pulseaudio manually in verbose mode to see what it says? pulseaudio -vvvv --log-target=file:pa.log And then please attach pa.log to this report Saludos, Felipe Sateler
