Linux Mint 20 (19.2 and 19.3 too). The sound fell off. [pulseaudio] : Daemon already running.

Post by igmint »

Linux Mint 20 Mate.
After the first update, the sound drops off.

Code: Select all

~$ pulseaudio
E: [pulseaudio] pid.c: Daemon already running.
E: [pulseaudio] main.c: An error occurred during execution pa_pid_file_create().
I have already reinstalled the system three times.

Some details might be useful.

Is sound working?

Where are you seeing that message?

You make it look like you're typing pulseaudio at the command prompt, but pulseaudio starts automatically, so doing that should cause that message.

Assuming your sound doesn't work, run this command and paste the output:

The reason is in the new package pulseaudio _13.99.1-1ubuntu3.3
I deleted it and the sound appeared :!: .

How to install the previous version that needs dependencies?

Install and run Pulseaudio Volume Control. Change the Profile on the Configuration tab. Right now, it's set to output:iec958-stereo, or Цифровой стерео

I'm assuming you want Analog Stereo Duplex, or Аналоговый стерео дуплекс. Or maybe one of the Surround Sound options such as Аналоговый объёмный 5.1 выход + Аналоговый стерео вход

There does seem to be a little weirdness in your output, and it might be fixed with this:

Code: Select all

apt install --reinstall alsa-base alsa-utils pulseaudio linux-sound-base libasound2
And also delete the files in /home/YourUserName/.config/pulse, then run pulseaudio -k in the terminal just for good measure.

I believe there are too many dependency issues with trying to install an older version of PulseAudio. The entire sound base has changed since Mint 19.x, with a lot of cross dependencies with ALSA and the kernel.

This does not work with pulseaudio_13.99.1-1ubuntu3.3, there are no selection options in the menu.
Solution: installed next to the N2 LM20 and the update for pulseaudio to 13.99.1-1ubuntu3.3 is disabled.

This command will downgrade PulseAudio to the one that is still working:

Code: Select all

apt update && apt install libpulse-mainloop-glib0=1:13.99.1-1ubuntu3.2 libpulse0=1:13.99.1-1ubuntu3.2 libpulsedsp=1:13.99.1-1ubuntu3.2 pulseaudio=1:13.99.1-1ubuntu3.2 pulseaudio-module-bluetooth=1:13.99.1-1ubuntu3.2 pulseaudio-utils=1:13.99.1-1ubuntu3.2

No, LM 19 uses an 11.x version of pulseaudio. Let's see your output of apt policy pulseaudio on LM 19

Let's see if downgrading does the same there then:

Okay, run this command and I'll check everything:

Code: Select all

curl https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pulseaudio/pulseaudio/raw/master/src/utils/pa-info?inline=false | bash | nc termbin.com 9999
The last line of output will have a URL pointing to your sound setup.

How are you trying to listen? Headphones? Digital output to speakers or sound system?

It looks like most things are the same as your earlier output, but the headphones are muted now. Once again, the output profile is set to IEC958 or S/PDIF (Цифровой стерео (IEC958) выход + Аналоговый стерео вход)

I'm having trouble finding anything wrong with your output.

Does this produce sound:

Code: Select all

aplay -D hw:0,1 /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav

Hrmmm. Try deleting the file in /home/iv/.config/pulse then run pulseaudio -k in the terminal. Does the aplay command work after that?
