[mythtv-users] Cant get sound to work with ALSA or Pulse Audio

[dario]

I stumbled in the same error.
In my case the reason why it happened was due to the fact that
pulseaudio wasn't started at boot.
I solved by starting pulseaudio at boot by doing the following:

First create /etc/systemd/system/pulseaudio.service with this content

    [Unit]
    Description=PulseAudio system server

    [Service]
    Type=notify
    ExecStart=/usr/bin/pulseaudio --daemonize=no --system --realtime --
    log-target=journal

    [Install]
    WantedBy=multi-user.target

then perform the following commands

    sudo systemctl --system enable pulseaudio.service
    sudo systemctl --system start pulseaudio.service

and you are done

Cheers
