[Sound] Pulseaudio is stuck at "Establishing connection to pulseaudio, please wait"

[jared-dev]

The audio works, I can hear sounds, but the mic doesn't work. And discord has no dropdown for input and output devices, the input and output button is grayed out and can't be clicked. So I want to configure PulseAudio to solve those problem. This used to open like normal before but now it doesn't, it just says "Establishing connection to pulseaudio, please wait"

I tried

Code: Select all

mv ~/.config/pulse ~/.config/pulse.old

, I also tried removing

Code: Select all

~/.config/pulse

and then rebooting, and I tried reinstalling it as well but it didn't work.

And here's some commands I tried as well:

When I run `pulseaudio --start` and `pulseaudio -D` it outputs:

Code: Select all

E: [pulseaudio] main.c: Daemon startup failed.

When I run `pulseaudio --k` it outputs:

Code: Select all

E: [pulseaudio] main.c: Failed to kill daemon: No such process

When I run `sudo systemctl restart pulseaudio.service` it outputs:

Code: Select all

Failed to restart pulseaudio.service: Unit pulseaudio.service not foun

Is this still Debian 11, as your previous posts suggest?

Please post the output of these commands to give us some information about your system:

(You can use more than one post, or use Pastebin.)

Yes, this is still Debian 11.

I ran the last two commands with sudo because running without sudo doesn't output anything.
I hope this is helpful.

Code: Select all

# dmesg

Means run the command with the root prompt. If you run

Code: Select all

$ # dmesg

the terminal will interpret the "#" character as a comment and ignore anything that follows.

Have you by any chance installed Pipewire? What is the output of

Code: Select all

$ LANG=C pactl info | grep '^Server Name'

?

If there is no mention of Pipewire, give us status of Pulseaudio with

Code: Select all

$ systemctl --user --full --no-pager status pulseaudio.socket pulseaudio.service

and restart Pulseaudio with

Code: Select all

$ systemctl --user restart PulseAudio 

If no luck, try

Code: Select all

$ rm -r ~/.config/pulse /tmp/pulse-*

and restart Pulseaudio again.

Edit: PS, you also need to install firmware-realtek and possibly some firmware from outside Debian for decoder capabilities:

Yes, I installed pipewire when I noticed that pavu is not working.
The output of `LANG=C pactl info | grep '^Server Name'` is:

So I don't know if it worked because it says "Possible missing firmware" for a lot of stuffs.

[FreewheelinFrank]

Yes, I installed pipewire when I noticed that pavu is not working.
The output of `LANG=C pactl info | grep '^Server Name'` is:

Code: Select all

Connection failure: Connection refused
pa_context_connect() failed: Connection refused

OK, my bad, that command will not work unless Pipewire is installed properly.

Debian Wiki says of Pipewire on Debian 11:

"This is not a supported scenario for Debian 11, and is considered experimental."

It may break certain applications, lack certain functionality, or not work at all.

https://wiki.debian.org/PipeWire#Debian_11

If you install Pipewire on Debian 11, you need to follow the full procedure in the Debian Wiki above.

However, as it is only experimental, you would probably be better off uninstalling Pipewire and diagnosing the issues you have with Pulseaudio.

The firmware warnings seem to be for firmware for newer hardware which the kernel is aware of but you don't have, so are not important, AFAIK.

The pipewire package is part of the default installation, does that mean that every user needs to follow this procedure?

I keep a list of packages that you get in the default installation at https://lindi.iki.fi/lindi/debian11/des ... dpkg-l.txt

Pipewire is only part of a default installation in Gnome on Debian 12, at least according to the Debian Wiki.

https://wiki.debian.org/PipeWire

Is this output of

Code: Select all

dpkg -l

?

I will check on my Bullseye install to see what I get.

[FreewheelinFrank]

Bullseye seems to have some Pipewire bits and bobs installed, but not Pipewire itself.

you would probably be better off uninstalling Pipewire

Done. I uninstalled it now. But PulseAudio is still not working.

Is this output of

Code: Select all

dpkg -l

?

I will check on my Bullseye install to see what I get.

Yes. You can see a screencast of how the default installation goes at https://lindi.iki.fi/lindi/debian11/des ... ncast.webm . When the installation is complete the "dpkg -l" command is run at timestamp 16:28.

I think the confusion here is that pipewire can do multiple things. As far as I know audio in Debian 11 is handled by pulseaudio but screen sharing is handled by pipewire. So if you uninstall the pipewire package you possibly break screen sharing in your installation? Uninstalling it also should not be necessary since I have a perfectly functioning audio in the default installation with both /usr/bin/pipewire and /usr/bin/pulseaudio running at the same time as normal user.

Remove all config files, reinstall and reboot seems to be the thing to try:

Make sure to remove everything in ~/.config/pulse and ~/.pulse

Thanks! It worked now. I can now open PulseAudio and configure the input and output devices on discord.
