Hi all.

After recent update to 0.9.14, PulseAudio no longer allows clients to
connect. The server appears to be running properly. On startup, it
outputs to both console and messages.log:

Jan 21 15:47:37 arch pulseaudio[13203]: ltdl-bind-now.c: Failed to
find original dlopen loader.
Jan 21 15:47:37 arch pulseaudio[13203]: main.c: Running in system
mode, but --disallow-exit not set!
Jan 21 15:47:37 arch pulseaudio[13203]: main.c: Running in system
mode, but --disallow-module-loading not set!
Jan 21 15:47:37 arch pulseaudio[13203]: main.c: Running in system
mode, forcibly disabling SHM mode!
Jan 21 15:47:37 arch pulseaudio[13203]: main.c: Running in system
mode, forcibly disabling exit idle time!

It's done this before without significant problems, but a couple of
those messages are new.

The error presented by pavucontrol and alsamixer is Connection failed:
Connection refused.

Please let me know if anything not appended is pertinent.

Thanks for any and all help.

Hi Jeff,

I have the very same messages when running PulseAudio, yet all my apps are working correctly.

Could you try to run "pulseaudio --system -vvv" and post its output here? Especially the part that is displayed after pavucontrol or any other app failed to connect to the Pulse server. It would maybe explain why the connection is refused.

If there is something about an invalid cookie, you should try to replace your ~/.pulse-cookie by /var/run/pulse/.pulse-cookie and run "pax11publish -e" to update the PulseAudio data in your X server.
