Thank you for your response. Please note - I have very little experience with pulseaudio and alsa, except as a user. When it comes to the configuration, I'm a complete novice and concluded that I made a mistake somewhere by copying these files.</div>

<br>
Does /etc/systemd/system/pulseaudio.service contain<br>
"ConditionUser=!root"? The systemctl status output looks like it does,<br>
but that doesn't make sense in a system service (and the rudd-o page<br>
doesn't contain that line, so I don't know why you would have that,<br>
unless you copied the user service to the system service, but in your<br>
list of modifications you didn't say that you did so).<br>
<br>
The systemctl output also indicates that pulseaudio.service was<br>
triggered by pulseaudio.socket, so check also that (the system version<br>
of) pulseaudio.socket doesn't contain "ConditionUser=!root". Again,<br>
rudd-o doesn't instruct you to set up a socket activation unit, nor did<br>
you mention doin that in your message, so I don't understand why<br>
pulseaudio.socket would be involved at all.<br>
