Can you do lspci -v? That may at least tell you what pulseaudio fails to recognize. On Wed, 29 Aug 2012, Arno Gaboury wrote:

Please run pulseaudio --cleanup-shm then run pulseaudio --start then run echo $? and see if you get a zero back. I'm on debian now and dumped pulseaudio completely since it got in the way of too many things and made an attempt to install a desktop environment unmanageable. But this should get you along a little further.

Dear list,
I am able to boot with systemd. For now, I am still using the mixed systemd installation, until everything is clear. The only issue is with pulseaudio. $ journalctl returns [pulseaudio] module-equalizer-sink.c: resume state exists but is wrong size! I am on XFCE4, and when I start mixer, i have this error: GStreamer was unable to detect any sound device.Some sound system specific Gstreamer packages maybe missing. It may also be a permission problem. In /var/log/errors, I find these entries: localhost pulseaudio[29270]: [pulseaudio] module-equalizer-sink.c: resume state exists but is wrong size! localhost login: pam_systemd(login:session): Failed to release session: Connection was disconnected before a reply was received localhost pulseaudio[2257]: [pulseaudio] pid.c: Stale PID file, overwriting. When I start Pulse audio volume control, it is waiting to connect to pulse audio and give me this error in everything.log: localhost kernel: [ 150.080570] pulseaudio[2257]: segfault at 48 ip 00007fdbd3df404e sp 00007fff3b1e9860 error 4 in module-equalizer-sink.so[7fdbd3def000+f000]
Thank you for help. Reply-To: arnaud.gaboury@gmail.com Host: Magnolia on Arch Linux I ran all your command, and get 0. Each time I $ pulseaudio --start, I see this errors in my log files: Aug 29 11:48:58 localhost pulseaudio[3361]: [pulseaudio] pid.c: Stale PID file, overwriting.

I am totally lost on this issue, especially the fact that my sound card is not recognized with $aplay -l
