[Bug 108577] Re: pulseaudio esd wrapper is not working with gnome
Small update. - Removed all config files from home directories. - Re-installed esdcompat from the Hardy repository. - Added: 'load-module module-esound-protocol-unix socket=/tmp/.esd-1000/socket' to default.pa This stopped the errors from the gnome applet and the 'Failed to open module module-protocol-esound-unix' errors. Why this did not work before I am not sure. Residual conflicting config files perhaps. (There is an inconsistency there by the way. The module name you need to invoke is different to the filename. This causes some confusion) Sound was still silent from EsounD sources at this point but errors had ceased and the pulseaudio daemon was now running. (pulseaudio -v) However, on running 'pactl list' I discovered that EsounD is mapped to the following. *** Sample #1 *** Name: esound.gnome-2/logout Volume: 0: 100% 1: 100% Sample Specification: s16le 2ch 44100Hz Channel Map: front-left,front-right--- Duration: 1.8s Size: 310.1 KiB Lazy: no Filename: n/a I opened 'alsamixer' and set PCM Front to 100, it was currently on 0. Device is an Audigy 2 Pro (w/box) using the standard driver from a clean Hardy install. Sound returned at this point. Incidentally this also cured missing sounds in Adobe Flash Player. (AMD64 using nspluginwrapper in Firefox 64). 'No sound in flash ubuntu' has an insane number of hits on google. I'm not saying this is THE fix but if someone has exhausted all other avenues then simply increasing PCM Front seems worth a shot if the pulseaudio daemon is booting without error. -- pulseaudio esd wrapper is not working with gnome https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/108577 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 108577] Re: pulseaudio esd wrapper is not working with gnome
Recently encountered this myself on Hardy. Possibly as a result of running the Pulseaudio device chooser. - I have sound on boot up (at the GDM login). - The Gnome login sounds do not play. No sounds through the Gnome sound applet ever play. - With the Output set to Autodetect/ALSA/OSS in Sound Preferences my audio works apart from the gnome related system sounds. pulseaudio -vv returns ...

I'm still fixing it via editing default.pa and having it use /tmp/.esd-1000. It doesn't appear that any frontend is looking for /tmp/.esd. I would say a good temporary solution would be to symlink the two until we figure out why .esd-1000 was chosen in the first place for the esd wrapper (maybe there is a good reason?) I'm guessing it may have to do with those who want pulseaudio AND esd installed at the same time (esd socket would be in /tmp/.esd and pulseaudio esd wrapper socket in /tmp/.esd-1000). -- pulseaudio esd wrapper is not working with gnome https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/108577 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Re: [Bug 108577] Re: pulseaudio esd wrapper is not working with gnome
It seems to work now in Hardy as of the last 2 updates of esd-clients. I had originally fixed the problem by forcing pulseaudio to create the socket in the place where esd clients look for it, but then esd-clients was updated I think about 2 weeks ago and in order to get my gnome sounds working again I had to take my socket path out of default.pa. Since then everything seems to work perfectly.

I'm guessing it may have to do with those who want pulseaudio AND esd installed at the same time Actually it has more to do with multiple users being able to run pulseaudio or esd. The 1000 happens to be your user ID on the system. The next user account you create will have the ID 1001, and if this user is in the correct groups and runs pulseaudio, his/her socket will be at /tmp/esd-1001/socket. This way, both users can be logged onto the system and have pulse or esd running at the same time. -- pulseaudio esd wrapper is not working with gnome https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/108577 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Same problem here.

Re: [Bug 108577] Re: pulseaudio esd wrapper is not working with gnome
I found a better fix for this problem in Hardy than creating a link, especially since I couldn't get the link to be created early enough to play the Gnome startup sound. For any Hardy user who is having this problem, try changing the line in /etc/pulse/default.pa that says: load-module module-protocol-esound-unix so that it says: load-module module-protocol-esound-unix socket=/tmp/.esd/socket This at least provides a temporary fix for the problem until a fix is officially released for Hardy.

[Bug 108577] Re: pulseaudio esd wrapper is not working with gnome
I am running the latest pulseaudio 0.9.8-1ubuntu2 and have a very similar problem, except now instead of my esd clients looking for /tmp/.esd-1000/socket and not finding it, it now looks for /tmp/.esd/socket and of course doesn't find it, because pulseaudio is now creating /tmp/.esd-1000/socket instead of /tmp/.esd/socket. Again in this case, the link seems to solve the problem, but once again there seems to be a miscommunication between where pulseaudio creates the esd socket and where the esd clients think it should be. It would seem now that the esd clients should probably be rebuilt to reflect the change in pulseaudio. -- pulseaudio esd wrapper is not working with gnome https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/108577 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Just to make my previous comment more clear, installing pulseaudio causes all alsa sound to stop working when something triggers its launching, apparently by trying to use esd. In other words, a newly installed system with pulseaudio installed soon stops to output sound and fuser points to pulseaudio as the culprit, then causing the user (I'm not the first from some searches on the web) to conclude that pulseaudio is something that prevents sound from working and should be uninstalled.
