System Sounds Silenced [SOLVED!]

[Amii_Leigh]

I need to undo this configuration. I tried to install (obviously) the wrong version of Firejail, and applied this 'fix'. However, this

Code: Select all

mkdir -p ~/.config/pulse
cd ~/.config/pulse
cp /etc/pulse/client.conf .
echo "enable-shm = no" >> client.conf

fix shut off all my system sounds. So does anyone know how to undo this?

When you solved the case, I suppose that you just removed enable-shm = no line from client.conf file?

No, I really still have -no- idea about commands. I'd have to have a book or list in front of me to do anything like that. I actually sent an email to Fred, who sent me a solution.That is,

Code: Select all

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

Unfortunately, that doesn't help a bit with my present situation.

Thanks for asking! It didn't seem like anyone was interested in helping me before, so I sent an email to Fred, and it seems like he's really busy right now. *sigh*

I did the firejail sound fix a few versions (of firejail) ago, and still have it without issue using firejail 0.9.44.10. I don't recall seeing this fix fail before.
The only difference may be that I use firejail on a per app basis instead of running 'firecfg' (if thats what you did). If I recall correctly when I had the sound issues, my sound settings, output device list was empty, is yours?

I'm thinking that since I'm using Linux Mint Cinnamon 17.3 as opposed to 18.x is why I'm having these sound (or lack thereof) issues.

I'm also using (when I have it installed, that is) firejail on a per-application basis. System sounds drop out whenever any application that I've added firejail into the command string that uses Pulseaudio actually plays any sound. The sound works from that application, but the system sounds applet crashes.

Right! (at least the kernel)

The problem is fixed in Linux kernels 3.18 or newer.
