Hi everyone. I’m trying to get work my headphones for skype. While sound output works ok, the microphone doesn’t. So I tried to record a test recording using
arecord -d 10 testrecording.wav
but the result was
ALSA lib pulse.c:272:(pulse_connect) PulseAudio: Unable to connect: Connection refused
arecord: main:590: audio open error: Connection refused
Next try was to run alsa-info script which outputed info to http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=d2f2424564f8090d668bc0cd5a4d4eb0e132ac2dFrom the info I saw that pulseaudio isn’t running at all. I tried to run it manually and it says
W: main.c: High-priority scheduling enabled in configuration but not allowed by policy.
W: core-util.c: setpriority(): Permission denied
W: ltdl-bind-now.c: Failed to find original dlopen loader.
W: pid.c: Stale PID file, overwriting.
E: module-alsa-source.c: Assertion 'u->hw_dB_supported' failed at modules/module-alsa-source.c:742, function source_get_volume_cb(). Aborting.
I did also some queries:

. I gues there is some conflict between alsa and pulse, but I have no clue how to solve it. Any help is higly appreciated.
