This shouldn't be required - my Startup Applications doesn't include pulse. What does "systemctl --user status pulseaudio.service" report? On my buster laptop, it reports that the service is running and enabled. > $ start-pulseaudio-x11 > Connection failure: Connection refused > pa_context_connect() failed: Connection refused This is curious. According to start-pulseaudio-x11(1), it should start a daemon if required. Ross
