I am having trouble with getting pulseaudio to startup on boot.
I am on systemd with a desktop profile.
I followed the news item 2022-07-29 Pipewire Sound Server, using Step 2: "To use PulseAudio's daemon for sound", but there is no pulseaudio.service or pulseaudio.socket units to enable:
Code: Select all
sudo systemctl enable pulseaudio.service
Failed to enable unit: Unit file pulseaudio.service does not exist.
Code: Select all
equery list media-sound/pulseaudio media-sound/pulseaudio-daemon

[ Legend : U - final flag setting for installation]
[ : I - package is installed with flag ]
[ Colors : set, unset ]
* Found these USE flags for media-sound/pulseaudio-16.1:
U I
- - abi_x86_32 : 32-bit (x86) libraries
+ + bluetooth : Enable Bluetooth Support
+ + daemon : Build the pulseaudio binary (not-needed for pipewire-pulse)
+ + glib : Add support to dev-libs/glib-based mainloop for the libpulse client library, to allow using libpulse on glib-based programs. Build the GSettings PA module.
- - jack : Add support for the JACK Audio Connection Kit
- - ofono-headset : Build with oFono HFP backend for bluez 5, requires net-misc/ofono.
* Found these USE flags for media-sound/pulseaudio-daemon-16.1:
U I
+ + X : Build the X11 publish module to export PulseAudio information through X11 protocol for clients to make use. Don't enable this flag if you want to use a system wide instance. If unsure, enable this flag.
+ + alsa : Add support for media-libs/alsa-lib (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture)
+ + alsa-plugin : Request installing media-plugins/alsa-plugins with PulseAudio plugin enabled. This ensures that clients supporting ALSA only will use PulseAudio.
- - aptx : aptX (HD) over Bluetooth (many Android compatible headphones), requires media-plugins/gst-plugins-openaptx.
+ + asyncns : Use libasyncns for asynchronous name resolution.
+ + bluetooth : Enable Bluetooth Support
+ + dbus : Enable dbus support for anything that needs it (gpsd, gnomemeeting, etc)
- - equalizer : Enable the equalizer module (requires sci-libs/fftw and sys-apps/dbus).
- - fftw : Enable the virtual surround sink module (requires sci-libs/fftw).
+ + gdbm : Use sys-libs/gdbm to store PulseAudio databases. Recommended for desktop usage. This flag causes the whole package to be licensed under GPL-2 or later.
+ + glib : Build the GSettings PA module.
- - gstreamer : Build GStreamer-based RTP protocol module which supports more advanced RTP features like OPUS payload encoding.
- - jack : Add support for the JACK Audio Connection Kit
- - ldac : LDAC over Bluetooth (primarily Sony headphones), requires media-plugins/gst-plugins-ldac.
- - lirc : Add support for lirc (Linux's Infra-Red Remote Control)
- - ofono-headset : Build with optional oFono HFP backend for bluez 5, requires net-misc/ofono.
+ + orc : Use dev-lang/orc for just-in-time optimization of array operations
- - sox : Add support for Sound eXchange (SoX)
+ + ssl : Use dev-libs/openssl to provide support for RAOP (AirPort) streaming.
+ + systemd : Build with sys-apps/systemd support to replace standalone ConsoleKit.
- - tcpd : Add support for TCP wrappers
- - test : Enable dependencies and/or preparations necessary to run tests (usually controlled by FEATURES=test but can be toggled independently)
+ + udev : Enable virtual/udev integration (device discovery, power and storage device support, etc)
- - valgrind : Compile in valgrind memory hints
+ + webrtc-aec : Uses the webrtc.org AudioProcessing library for enhancing VoIP calls greatly in applications that support it by performing acoustic echo cancellation, analog gain control, noise suppression and other processing.
- - zeroconf : Support for DNS Service Discovery (DNS-SD)
