As Benno said this means that most likely something is wrong with your session and you don’t get access to audio devices. What’s strange is that 14.12 uses xorg-server-1.16-* and this should run as user by default and as a result should crash with insufficient permissions to access video devices unless you do something special to start it as root.
Do you use a desktop manager or start your X session manually? The important thing is to make sure that your X server is running on _the same virtual terminal_ your logind session was opened on, otherwise you won’t get permissions to access hardware. Desktop managers take care of this and recent versions of `startx` (starting from xinit-1.3.4 IIRC) also do. `loginctl show-session <session-id> -p VTNr` tells you what logind thinks is your session’s terminal. I believe that the default of X is still to choose the first available terminal, so you have to explicitly pass it `vt<your-session-terminal-number>` (`startx` does exactly this).
