Hi, I am trying to use module-echo-cancel, but I am facing some difficulties. I am completely new to PulseAudio, so hoping someone here can help. I am working on an embedded device. It has PulseAudio already running as a system-wide instance. bash-4.4# ps aux | grep pulseaudio 1744 pulse 0:02 /usr/bin/pulseaudio --system --daemonize=no -vvvv 2056 root 0:00 {grep} /bin/busybox /bin/grep pulseaudio I want to try module-echo-cancel. In the post on stackoverflow (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/22726143/how-can-i-get-a-stream-of-all-sounds-recorded-from-the-microphone-that-my-comp), OP has mentioned that we should add "load-module module-echo-cancel" line in the config. Restart PulseAudio. Then use pacmd to list the sources and sinks, so that those can be specified in the config as default devices. I am having problem here. When I try to run pacmd, I get following error
bash-4.4# pacmd list-sinks No PulseAudio daemon running, or not running as session daemon. If I try to start PulseAudio, then I get error that daemon is already running. bash-4.4# pulseaudio --start W: [pulseaudio] main.c: [1mThis program is not intended to be run as root (unless --system is specified).[0m bash-4.4# pulseaudio --system W: [pulseaudio] main.c: [1mRunning in system mode, but --disallow-exit not set.[0m W: [pulseaudio] main.c: [1mRunning in system mode, but --disallow-module-loading not set.[0m N: [pulseaudio] main.c: Running in system mode, forcibly disabling SHM mode.
