jaunty pulseaudio volume control connection refused

[jerrylamos]

Jaunty Alpha 1 Alternate install on IBM Thinkpad T40 no sound at all.
pulseaudio & pavucontrol
or
Applications Sound & Video Pulse Audio Volume Control
get
Connection failed: Connection refused
Same thing from pulse audio applet on desktop.

I've followed Pulse Audio Fixes
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=789578
up through Appendix A step 5 where the Connection failed occurs.

Anything anyone has for me to try or report on?

Thanks, Jerry

Have you tried starting/restarting the pulseaudio daemon?

Please download and execute the script at http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh and attach the output here.

Hi!

I currently face the "connection refused" problem under Jaunty 64-bit. I have an Nvidia sound card. If I try to run pulseaudio from the terminal or

$ pulseaudio

I: caps.c: Limited capabilities successfully to CAP_SYS_NICE.
I: caps.c: Dropping root privileges.
I: caps.c: Limited capabilities successfully to CAP_SYS_NICE.
E: module.c: Failed to open module "module-rtp-recv": file not found
E: module-gconf.c: pa_module_load() failed
E: alsa-util.c: Error opening PCM device hw:1,0: No such file or directory
E: module.c: Failed to load module "module-alsa-source" (argument: "device=hw:1,0"): initialization failed.
E: main.c: Module load failed.
E: main.c: Failed to initialize daemon.

Also, if I try to run the script mentioned above, _both_ as a normal user and with sudo, I get:
$ sh ./utils_alsa-info.sh

WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist, it will be ignored in a future release.

ALSA Information Script v 0.4.56
--------------------------------

This script will collect information about your ALSA installation and sound related hardware, to help diagnose your problem.

./utils_alsa-info.sh: 365: [[: not found
By default, the collected information will be AUTOMATICALLY uploaded to a www.alsa-project.org site.
If you do not wish for this to occur, run the script with the --no-upload argument

Do you want to run this script? [y/n] : read: 365: Illegal option -e

Thank you for using the ALSA-Info Script

Anybody else having this problem?
Kind regards, Nikos

Hi Jackphone,
You might try removing pulseaudio completely. set up everything to work through ALSA (the bit where you test the sounds, cant remember now as I'm not using ubuntu at the moment).

What does pulseaudio do anyway, and why did ubuntu (and most other desktop distros) adopt it so readily?

Regards,
Gary
