[pulseaudio-discuss] PulseAudio 2.1-1 (Cygwin 64-bit): Failed to create secure directory: Unknown error 13

[Nithin Kurien]

Hello,

I am unable to run PulseAudio on Cygwin.

Operating System: Windows 8 Professional 64 bit
Cygwin Setup.exe Version: 2.831 (64 bit)

When I run:

pulseaudio -vv

this is the output:

D: [(null)] core-util.c: setpriority() worked.
I: [(null)] core-util.c: Successfully gained nice level -11.
I: [(null)] main.c: This is PulseAudio 2.1

When I instead run

pulseaudio -vv --start

the output is this:

E: [autospawn] core-util.c: Failed to create secure directory: Unknown
error 13
W: [autospawn] lock-autospawn.c: Cannot access autospawn lock.
E: [(null)] main.c: Failed to acquire autospawn lock

Please can someone help me?
