XDG_RUNTIME_DIR (/run/user/1000) is not owned by us (uid 0), but by uid 1000! (This could e.g. happen if you try to connect to a non-root PulseAudio as a root user, over the native protocol. Don't do that.) **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 0: ALC1220 Analog [ALC1220 Analog] Subdevices: 0/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 1: ALC1220 Digital [ALC1220 Digital] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 1: MICROPHONE [JLAB TALK MICROPHONE], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 2: NVidia_1 [HDA NVidia], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 2: NVidia_1 [HDA NVidia], device 7: HDMI 1 [HDMI 1] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 2: NVidia_1 [HDA NVidia], device 8: HDMI 2 [VG279QM ] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 2: NVidia_1 [HDA NVidia], device 9: HDMI 3 [ASUS VP278 ] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 2: NVidia_1 [HDA NVidia], device 10: HDMI 4 [HDMI 4] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 2: NVidia_1 [HDA NVidia], device 11: HDMI 5 [HDMI 5] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 2: NVidia_1 [HDA NVidia], device 12: HDMI 6 [HDMI 6] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 3: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 3: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 7: HDMI 1 [U28E590 ] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 3: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 8: HDMI 2 [U28E590 ] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 3: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 9: HDMI 3 [U28E590 ] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 3: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 10: HDMI 4 [HDMI 4] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 3: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 11: HDMI 5 [HDMI 5] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 3: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 12: HDMI 6 [HDMI 6] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
