Right now I have no sound at all. I posted full details in the

but never got any responses. Sometimes I can get sound by deleting
~/.pulse and ~/.pulse-cookie, logging out, and logging back in. But the
solution doesn't last. Other times I run Amarok and, lo and behold, sound
starts working everywhere. Temporarily.
I feel your pain.
Also, typically the ordering I use is:
logout from graphical desktop
log into console (either root or normal user)
make sure all processes from normalUser's desktop session are dead
(gconf-related, etc)
delete ~normaluser/.pulse-cookie|.pulse
log in to normalUser w/ desktop sesson (and cross fingers)
When it starts working temporarily, what does the system log say?
You might try this sequence:
log in as normaluser to desktop
make sure pulseaudio is dead
open a terminal and start pulseaudio WITHOUT "--start" (we don't want
it to detach from the terminal because we want to see the output)
try to watch a video w/ mplayer or something.
Watch to see what happens to pulseaudio. Does it crash? Is it spewing
errors?
Hope that helps,
Matt
