Hi!

You have probably come here because you have a problem with PulseAudio, and someone asked you to provide a PulseAudio verbose log. Here's how to do that:

  • Open a terminal, then enter these commands: 

echo autospawn = no >> ~/.pulse/client.conf
killall pulseaudio
LANG=C pulseaudio -vvvv > ~/pulseverbose.log 2>&1
  • Open a second terminal and enter this command: 

pacmd set-log-time 1
  • Do what you need to reproduce the bug.

  • Switch back to the terminal and press Ctrl-C to stop PulseAudio.

  • Open your Launchpad bug and attach the file ~/pulseverbose.log (in your home directory) to that message.
  • To return your system to a clean state again, edit ~/.pulse/client.conf with your favorite editor and remove the line "autospawn = no". If the file is now empty, you can just as well delete it. Then log out and log in again.
  • Last but not least - thanks for helping out!
