Also, typically the ordering I use is: logout from graphical desktop log into console (either root or normal user) make sure all processes from normalUser's desktop session are dead (gconf-related, etc) delete ~normaluser/.pulse-cookie|.pulse log in to normalUser w/ desktop sesson (and cross fingers) When it starts working temporarily, what does the system log say? You might try this sequence: log in as normaluser to desktop make sure pulseaudio is dead open a terminal and start pulseaudio WITHOUT "--start" (we don't want it to detach from the terminal because we want to see the output) try to watch a video w/ mplayer or something. Watch to see what happens to pulseaudio. Does it crash? Is it spewing errors? Hope that helps, Matt
