I have gnome installed and running, and sound work in mplayer. Gnome sound doesn't seem to be working, no volume applet and when I try to set my sound preferences I get a dialog box about the sound system not responding. There are a series of messages in /var/log/messages from pulseaudio that say: Daemon startup without any loaded modules, refusing to work. Daemon startup failed. and if I run pulsaudio from the command line I get Daemon startup without any loaded modules, refusing to work. in red. What module does it need to be loading and how can I find/configure it? Thanks, g.
