pulseaudio not working

[uMac]

Binary package hint: pulseaudio

I just upgraded from Jaunty to Karmic. I'm having issues with gnome-volume-control, it can't connect to sound system. After googling around I found menay report this doesn;t work without pulseaudio. I have got installed pulseaudio. I tried to reinstall it, remove it, also purge it and install it again. volume control still doesn't come up. Then I realize that what ever I do with pulseaudio in command line e.g. pulseaudio -vvvv or pulseaudio --version etc. basically anything I always get this error:

pulseaudio: relocation error: pulseaudio: symbol pa_rtclock_now, version PULSE_0 not defined in file libpulse.so.0 with link time reference

here is an output from last installation of the pulseaudio so you can see packages and versions

I'd like to get volume-control and applet back working. I don't really mind pulseaudio not working because my sound seems to be working fine with inbuilt sound card and also with USB headphones. Just to mention I'm running on Sony VAIO VGN series laptop.

Thanks for your help.

Have you tried re-installing the pulseaudio libraries, libpulse0 and libpulse-mainloop-glib0?

[uMac (uvaio)]

I did try to reinstall libpulse0 but not the other one..

I did reinstall both now

but no change

Why do you have a non-package library in /usr/local/lib? It's the cause of
your error. Please remove it.

brilliant, all fine now.. thanks a lot.

[uMac (uvaio)]

Hi,

Although I don;t have any problems with audio itself, I found that my problem with Hibernation / Suspend is aparently related to the same library.

this is called by hibernate scripts:

stan@uvaio:~$ pacmd
pacmd: error while loading shared libraries: libpulsecommon-0.9.15.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

ldd `which pulseaudio`
doesn't show any reference to libpulsecommon-0.9.15.so

Can you please help me out from this as well?

Thanks a lot

[Expired for pulseaudio (Ubuntu) because there has been no activity for 60 days.]

[Alvaro (alvaritog92)]

I think I have a similar issue, but I couldn't solve it.
In my case I upgraded pulseaudio manually from 4.0 to 7.0, since yesterday everytime I plug in some headphones (bluetooth ones or not) the sound goes weird like scratchy..
So, please help me!
Here's my output when I type:
$pulseaudio -v
