Description of problem: After booting my F16 box and login the very fist time, trying to play some sound file (for example an ogg file). But I hear nothing. If in this situation I kill pulseaudio (pkill pulseaudio), then after this sound is played properly. In this situation (nothing plays), the only line in /var/log/messages having an pulseaudio entry is: Sep 22 08:06:11 eule pulseaudio[2039]: pid.c: Daemon already running. I'm using gnome-shell for my desktop. How to debug this? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): pulseaudio-0.9.23-1.fc16.x86_64 How reproducible: Each time after the very first login after boot. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Reboot 2. Login 3. Try to play a sound file 4. Nothing to hear 5. pkill pulseaudio 6. Try to play a sound file for the second time 7. I can hear sound Actual results: Expected results: The sound file is played if trying to play the first time. Additional info:
Got rid of the described effect by the most recent updates (I'm unable to say which ones).
