Hi Pulse Audiophiles,<br>
<br>
I'm trying to do about what the Pulse Whole Home Audio project was trying <br>
to do (did?), but the link to that is non-functional, and I presume it's <br>
defunct. So, I'm trying to do it on my own.<br>
<br>
However, I'm a bit stymied right "out of the gate" because my installation <br>
"looks nothing like" what the documentation says I should find.<br>
<br>
To be clear, all the systems but two lowly Windows boxes are on Fedora, <br>
and most of these on the new 38 server release that came out a couple of <br>
months ago - I'm starting with one of these. The pulse packages are:<br>
<br>
pulseaudio-libs-16.1-4.fc38.x86_64<br>
pulseaudio-libs-glib2-16.1-4.fc38.x86_64<br>
pulseaudio-utils-16.1-4.fc38.x86_64<br>
pipewire-pulseaudio-0.3.71-2.fc38.x86_64<br>
pavucontrol-5.0-8.fc38.x86_64<br>
<br>
...And if I try and install paprefs, it complains:<br>
<br>
Problem: problem with installed package pipewire-pulseaudio-0.3.71-2.fc38.x86_64<br>
<br>
(I've also tried installing "pulse-audio*" with similar results.)<br>
<br>
That said, though there's no reference to Fedora in the FAQ, I PRESUME <br>
there's some web page somewhere to help folks like me figure out the <br>
differences of this distribution?! I say that because I can't be alone in <br>
these experiences:<br>
<br>
When I try and look for things, there is no /usr/bin/pulseaudio binary,<br>
for example, though in /etc/pulse are client.conf and <a href="http://default.pa" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">default.pa</a>. <br>
(<a href="http://default.pa" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">default.pa</a> has one active line and one comment line - I don't recall <br>
editing it but MAYBE I did some weeks back?! The file is dated June 17.)<br>
<br>
When I try pacmd list-modules, I get:<br>
<br>
No PulseAudio daemon running, or not running as session daemon.<br>
<br>
And there doesn't appear to be any obvious way to even start a daemon - no <br>
executable?!<br>
<br>
If I try launching pavucontrol, I get a white pop-up that says, <br>
"Establishing a connection to PulseAudio. Please wait..." and it never <br>
returns even though music is playing!<br>
<br>
Etc.<br>
<br>
A gentle push in the right direction, please?!<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Richard<br>
