Description
Hi all,
I have problems with pulseaudio (again):
:; uname -rosv SunOS 5.11 illumos-793ac993be illumos :; pkg list -H pulseaudio library/audio/pulseaudio 12.2-2018.0.0.1 i--
Not sure how to report this. Tried with tricks from https://www.illumos.org/issues/8110:
:; rm -rf ~/.audioctl ~/config/pulse :; pfexec init 6
And nothing helps! Reproduction of sound has terrible quality:
- firefox (60.9.0esr) distorted (youtube)
- VLC (3.0.8) streams and mp3 files distorted
- RhythmBox (3.4.2) streams and mp3 files distorted
- Totem (3.0.1) - tested just mp4 videos, distorted
- can only MUTE sounds
- prefs --> hardware shows no device

Had no such problems until recent updates (maybe one month ago).
- How I can properly fix problem? Any idea/suggestion?
- What info I could provide more?
Regards.

Updated by hi Michal,
no! I even deleted them:
:; rm -rf ~/.audioctl ~/config/pulse :; pfexec init 6

Here some h/w info:
:; scanpci | grep -i audio NVIDIA Corporation GK208 HDMI/DP Audio Controller Intel Corporation 100 Series/C230 Series Chipset Family HD Audio Controller
I guess NVIDIA hdmi maps to device No 1 (date of symbolic links creation is date when I have replaced old Nvidia card with this one), while Intel is device No 0 (has connected headphones):

Still does not work!
Today I have installed NVidia 396.24 (taken from wiki.openindiana.org) and after reboot, found this in /var/adm/messages
[2019-09-20 10:46:17] solarix pulseaudio[2238]: [ID 295310 user.error] [solaris] sink.c: Assertion '!pa_thread_mq_get()' failed at pulsecore/sink.c:2288, function pa_sink_set_mute(). Aborting. [2019-09-20 10:46:18] solarix genunix: [ID 603404 kern.notice] NOTICE: core_log: pulseaudio[2238] core dumped: /export/tmp/cores/core.pulseaudio.2238

Process of pulse audio has died and when call it, it was started?:
:; /usr/bin/pulseaudio --start --log-target=syslog W: [(null)] caps.c: Normally all extra capabilities would be dropped now, but that's impossible because PulseAudio was built without capabilities support.
We see that (when dies) pulse audio leave gsettings-helper process behind:
:; ps -ef| grep [p]ulse global predrag* 6333 6332 0 14:23:29 ? 0:00 /usr/lib/amd64/pulse/gsettings-helper global predrag* 2239 1 0 08:48:10 ? 0:00 /usr/lib/amd64/pulse/gsettings-helper global predrag* 6332 1 0 14:23:29 ? 0:00 /usr/bin/pulseaudio --start --log-target=syslog
Sound (produced by any tool) is not possible to listen at all.
Is it only me, having such issues?
