[pulseaudio-discuss] How manage volume remotely on pulseaudio

[Christian Schmitz]

Hi everyone:

I am in the office with my computer ( Linux tumbleweed), and my kid of 3 years 
old is in another computer showing videos from youtube. Both computer have a 
normal user sound configuration ( each computer playing their own sound).

Some videos are quieter and another are very loudness. With my first kid (10 
years back) i do: 
1)SSH as root 
2)amixer and upper or lower the volume.

Now i cant find a way to do this with pulseaudio. If i do 
1)I do ssh as root successfully 
2)
2.1) # amixer
ALSA lib pulse.c:242:(pulse_connect) PulseAudio: Unable to connect: Connection 
refused

2.2) # alsamixer
ALSA lib pulse.c:242:(pulse_connect) PulseAudio: Unable to connect: Conexión 
negada (Connection refused in spanish)


2.3) if i do sudo to the same linux user that is showing the video:

user at computer> amixer
XDG_RUNTIME_DIR (/run/user/0) is not owned by us (uid 1001), but by uid 0! 
(This could e.g. happen if you try to connect to a non-root PulseAudio as a 
root user, over the native protocol. Don't do that.)
ALSA lib pulse.c:242:(pulse_connect) PulseAudio: Unable to connect: Connection 
refused

How i can control the sound volume of my kid from my computer? 

Thanks all
Christian Schmitz
