Re: Multiple pulseaudio process after re-loging

I don't use a desktop environment. Pulseaudio starts on demand for me, but I rarely use anything but mpv to play sound. Conky does not seem to support Pulseaudio, so I parse `pactl` output instead. It's dirty but I can't figure out anything better. -- Pierre Neidhardt signature.asc

Hello Pierre, Pierre Neidhardt writes: […] > I'd put the blame on conky / Pulseaudio for now :) I have a different Pulseaudio behavior. Sometimes I use a program which does not use Pulseaudio but Alsa, then I need to start Pulseaudio manually if there is no program which produces a sound,

Re: Multiple pulseaudio process after re-loging

OK, I've nailed it! I was mistaken about the "3 pulseaudio processes" I mentioned before, those actually were ├─pulseaudio(500,499,ambrevar)─┬─{alsa-sink-ALC25}(509,499) │ └─{alsa-source-ALC}(510,499) But htop did not display them that

Re: Multiple pulseaudio process after re-loging

I've investigated further to come up with a more precise recipe: - Start the machine afresh. - Log in, play some music, everything is fine (only one pulseaudio process, no crackles.) - Log out and relog _as fast as possible_ (if possible, enter the credentials in SLiM in less than 2-3

Re: Multiple pulseaudio process after re-loging

I'm not doing anything to start Pulseaudio since it starts on demand. I can't think of anything wrong with how I start my user session. I run EXWM via ~/.xsession. See my dotfiles: https://github.com/ambrevar/dotfiles Find my config.scm attached. -- Pierre Neidhardt config.scm

Multiple pulseaudio process after re-loging

After a fresh boot, pulseaudio works just fine. If I log out and log back again, I systematically get the following odd behaviour: - When no sound is playing, I hear crackles. - Instead of one, two pulseaudio processes are running. - `pavucontrol' fails to start, claiming it cannot connect to
