Following on from another thread (in which gdm seemed to be stealing sound-ability from users), I've updated to the latest pulseuadio RPMs from updates-testing, and by situation seems to have gotten worse. (NB: this is fedora 12; it was all working swimmingly in fedora 10, from which I upgraded a few weeks back). After a reboot, I log in. I have sound, no problems AFAICT. If I then switch users for my wife to log in (while I remain logged in), she gets no sound at all. A quick investigation shows that her PA config. has dropped back to a 'dummy' output device. I can switch back to my login and hear my sound again, but nothing i can do can get hers working again. I am utterly at a loss as to how to debug/diagnose pulseaudio, it's gone well beyond my ken; can anyone help point me in the right direction? Here's the output of 'pulseaudio -vvv' : https://www.fnxweb.co.uk/fnx/data/pa.out And the two log files generated by system-config-sound (or whatever it's called) run (as root) whilst logged in as my wife: https://www.fnxweb.co.uk/fnx/data/scsconfig.log https://www.fnxweb.co.uk/fnx/data/scsrun.log I did notice some failed device access in the pa.out file, namely "/dev/snd/pcmC7D0p", but that device isn't on my system.
