Xubuntu and Elyssa XFCE CE wasn't made to use Pulse audio.
You can get it working, aslong as you had audio before you installed pulse audio.

Follow the instructions found here. After that you'll have the pulse server configured and every app should use it without any problem, unless it needs to be specifically configured to use it (like Exaile).

It still won't run as a daemon so you have to edit the config.

Code: Select all

gksu mousepad /etc/default/pulseaudio

Change:

Code: Select all

PULSEAUDIO_SYSTEM_START=0

To

Code: Select all

PULSEAUDIO_SYSTEM_START=1

Change:

Code: Select all

DISALLOW_MODULE_LOADING=1

to

Code: Select all

DISALLOW_MODULE_LOADING=0

Save the file and restart.

Here are ways to get apps that have problems with pulse to work:(most of these are not needed anymore)

This doesn't fix Mint Xfce CE. I know there exist workarounds but if possible I'd rather see it just work. Not for my sake but to further Linux as a Desktop OS. People become disinterested when you're trying to show them the Linux way and you run into complicated problems.
