Just to be complete: 1. What application is producing the audio that you want recorded ? A variety: Chromium, Firefox, Clementine, Amarok. All behave the same. 2. Is this application run from GUI (if so which type GNOME...) or shell prompt ? All of mine from KDE GUI (not Gnome) 3. Do you really need pulseaudio for normal use ? Who knows. It is what is installed by default. PAVU Control *-is-* a rather cool little utility. 4. Will any of your normal required applications fail if pulseaudio is disabled/removed ? Haven't a clue. Haven't tried that. I'd prefer not to go that route. 5. Is there a userid pulse ? what users are registered in the pulse-access group ? Is userid pulse registered as part of the audio group ? what userid does LMS run under and what groups does it belong to ? a. No there is NOT a *userid* pulse. b. There *-is-* a *-group-* pulse. c. My user is *-andy-*. *-andy-* is registered as a member of *-pulse-* group. d. LMS does not appear as a userid on its own. There is a userid *-squeezeboxserver-* (userid #476), presumably that is LMS. e. *-squeezeboxserver-* is a member of the group *-squeezeboxserver-* f. *-andy-* (me) is also a member of the group *-squeezeboxserver-* Enough for tonight, tomorrow shall address the remaining questions. Thank you again. 6. When no applications are running (e.g. just after boot) is pulseaudio daemon running ? (check by running ps -aux as root/admin) 7. What produces the audio assuming an x86 PC based system is it native analog audio (e.g. Intel HD) native digital, HDMI or additional audio hardware such as USB DAC or additional card or something else ? 8. How is this audio device specified and designated(e.g. nane) in the application generating the audio ? 9. What is the output of "arecord -L" 10. what is the output of "pactl list short" when no audio application is running and when application generating audio is running 11. Do you have a problem if pulseaudio is configured as Systemwide ? 12. Is your system a multiuser system e.g. LMS runs as a service and there are mulitple different userid who can login at desktop or over net and play audio. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ alavarre1's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=40597 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49584 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
