[Testing - Trixie]How to automatically start pulseaudio.service

[PsychoHermit]

Greetings folks,

I want to automatically start the pulseaudio service.

What I have done:

created sound.sh

Code: Select all

 #!/bin/bash
 
 systemctl --user restart pulseaudio.service

created lib/systemd/system/sound.service

Code: Select all

[Unit]
After=network.service

[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/sound.sh

[Install]
WantedBy=default.target

But it doesn't work, any ideas how to accomplish automating it would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Hello.

Pulse audio uses socket activation, which means Pulseaudio will start automatically when an application tries to use it. PulseAudio on Debian has

Code: Select all

pulseaudio.socket 

enabled by default for the systemd/User instance. This means that PulseAudio will automatically start when needed.

It's not starting automatically when I open rhythmbox. Good info in the link you provided, thank you. I'm having a hard time trying to set it to autostart.

Thanks,
