It plays the wav file without issues. It uses the best output that your system is offering to pulseaudio: null-sink. Pulseaudio said openly that your system is not permitting access to the real audio hardware.<br><br>Okay thank you for your honesty. What part of the output from 'pulseaudio -vvv' said that my system was not permitting access to the real
audio hardware? I looked at the log. What makes you think that my system is not allowing access to audio hardware?<br><br>I could re-install the OS, and I plan to do that. But this is already a fairly fresh install (2 months old) and I don't think that will fix the problem. Also, the distribution is CentOS, which is RedHat. RedHat is the most respected names in Linux distributions.<br><br>It surprises me that you suggest I pay a Linux Expert in order to get pulseaudio to play music. Windows, MacOS, Android, and every other machine on the market does this automatically.<br><br><br></div></div> </div> </div> </div> </div></body></html>
