Issues such as "where to connect" would affect all PA clients the same
way (as it's something libpulse does), so it's not in the least
surprising that this affects pavueditor (is this a new tool, or do you
mean pavucontrol?) too.

Can you supply:

whoami (should be the same user as pulseaudio daemon - not e.g. root)

ps aux | grep pulse

PULSE_LOG=99 paplay -vvvv
/usr/share/sounds/freedesktop/stereo/dialog-warning.oga (or some .wav
file - it's not really important)

xprop -root | grep -i PULSE
cat ~/.pulse/client.conf /etc/pulse/client.conf | grep default-server
env | grep -i PULSE




The above should help diagnose any connection issues you might be having.
