Interesting, in that I routinely purge everything possible that is pulseaudio from my system after any installation or reinstallation. However, it usually takes me a week or so of messing with it, adjusting, going into config files, until at last everything works normally again. I know that some swear by pulseaudio, but for me it always seems to bring problems; problems which are easier solved by getting rid of pulseaudio. It also would appear that various pulseaudio components seem to sneak back into my system, then I have to purge them again. Thus far, I haven't had problems with apparmor, or I don't think so. In any case, I disable bluetooth on my system, as I have nothing with which to use it. So if the problem is related to bluetooth, that could be why I don't have that problem (yet). Whenever I finally break down and get something bluetooth, it will have to be too good to avoid. I don't think I use this bluealsa, but I will give it a try. Interesting that kmix-trinity has not wanted to run on my system for quite a while, and I cannot seem to get it started either by command-line or by finding an icon to click. Nowadays I mostly control my volume settings by using alsamixer, anyway, so it doesn't bother me too much -- aside from the fact that it won't start at all. Bill
