Public bug reported:
Thanks in advance for your time.
I've got a bit of a problem with pulseaudio. It wont work. I've tried
deleting the .pulse folder. Tried adding it to the startup
applications. Nothing helps. I got this error because I tried to
uninstall pulseaudio to fix sync problems when watching movies. I ended
up losing all sound, and had to reinstall it. Didn't get the sound back
until I installed JACK. But now when I try to go to the Sound
preferences I get "Waiting for sound system to respond" which is
disconcerting because I can't switch the sound output to the HDMI cable
when I wanna watch movies on my TV. Any help would be much appreciated;
I'd rather not reinstall Ubuntu if I can help it.
Here's some of the output I got when I tried troubleshooting this
myself:
$ ps auxw|grep pulse
keefer 4271 0.0 0.0 13124 1060 pts/1 S+ 12:45 0:00 grep
--color=auto pulse
$ pactl stat
Connection failure: Connection refused
$ pacmd set-log-time 1
No PulseAudio daemon running, or not running as session daemon.
