| Apr 21, 2021 at 9:30 | comment | added | Bamboo | Ok, so when I check systemctl --user status pulseaudio after a reboot it shows active (running) and --daemonize=no. It looks like it starts in systemd. I still get no audio from vlc until I open pavucontrol. Looking at the list under the status check it shows ...duplicated D-Bus path... for bluez, failed to register audio agent with ofono, and alsa-sink.c: Resume failed - no idea if that has any relevance | |

On my system it starts via systemd, so I suggest you start by checking if the pulseaudio service is enabled and running. Or just run systemctl --user enable pulseaudio, reboot and check. | |

The only thing that gets the audio to work is opening pavucontrol at least once after opening vlc - its a solution, but if I could get it to function automatically that would be better | |
| Apr 19, 2021 at 9:41 | comment | added | Bamboo | Thanks for your help. Forcing the vlc to output module to pulseaudio got the audio to reach HDMI, but bizarrely it only got the background track to the video I was playing by default. I selected the option Audio>Stereo Mode>Mono (it was on Original) and the voice track came in. If I close pavucontrol, the audio stays, but it goes again if I change the Audio>Stereo Mode option. | |
