I was reading more about pulseaudio and saw this on one of the Arch pages: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PulseAudio#Configuration_files "PulseAudio uses udev and logind to give access dynamically to the currently "active" user" could it be this which is not happening correctly? I started

thats actually really useful information. the Arch link in particular. think i am happy to have my family members able to change volume etc, but not sure how to set up a systemd service. think i will just log everyone out when the bug happens, at least starting a new session gets the sound

Thanks Daniel for the suggestion, I'll try it. The audio issue doesnt always happen and I can't spot exactly what the triggers are, this morning 3 sessions are all working fine. any suggestion for what to do if it occurs again? 'kill all pulseaudio' doesnt help, neither does asking it to
