However, here's what to do for an Ubuntu Lucid system: First, edit /etc/default/pulseaudio. Find the line that says: PULSEAUDIO_SYSTEM_START=3D0 and change it to: PULSEAUDIO_SYSTEM_START=3D1 Next, edit /etc/pulse/client.conf. Uncomment the line that says ; autospawn =3D yes and change it to autospawn =3D no Now disable spawning of user-mode pulseaudio: sudo rm -f /etc/xdg/autostart/pulseaudio.desktop Now, re-enabe the gnome volume control. Edit /etc/xdg/autostart/gnome-volume-control-applet.desktop, and change OnlyShowIn=3DXFCE; to OnlyShowIn=3DGNOME;XFCE; Now, give everyone rights to use the sound card. Edit /etc/pused -i 's/lse/system.pa, and change load-module module-native-protocol-unix to load-module module-native-protocol-unix auth-anonymous=3D1 Note that the PulseAudio author seems to think this is crazy recklessness. Anyone already logged into your machine could listen through your mic, or play obnoxious sounds without your permission. I wish those were the kinds of computer problems I had to actually worry about! Bill On Tue, May 18, 2010 at 6:01 PM, Alonzo wrote: > hello Bill, > > Ok.
