 Posted: Sun Mar 29, 2020 10:40 pm Post subject: [SOLVED] Pulseaudio for multi-user Linux |
 |
|
As outline in this post, I have applications running as different users. I would like to have PulseAduio to output the sound of an application run by another user. I have tried the configuration suggested in the post, but PulseAudio does not start:
| Quote: | usermod -aG audio user
/etc/pulse/client.conf
default-server = unix:/tmp/pulse-server
/etc/pulse/default.pa
load-module module-native-protocol-unix auth-group=audio socket=/tmp/pulse-server |
Allowing anonymous authentication, as suggested in this post, had the same results. Another possibility is to run PulseAudio at boot for all the users, but it seems to be discouraged.
I am wondering if you have any suggestion on which should be the right path.
Cheers!

This solution, similar to the above, inspired from the ArchLinux wiki works:
/etc/pulse/default.pa
| Code: | | load-module module-native-protocol-unix auth-anonymous=1 socket=/tmp/pulse-socket |
/etc/pulse/client.conf
| Code: | | default-server = unix:/tmp/pulse-socket |
You may need to start the PulseAudio server at stratup. In case you are using i3wm:
/home/user/.config/i3/config
This allows different users to access the same sound server. Users do not need to be in the audio, pulse-access or pulse groups.
Cheers!
