I copied it from the restorespeech script in Vinux 3.0. It should set pulse to run system wide, hopefully lol. #code sed -i 's/PULSEAUDIO_SYSTEM_START=0/PULSEAUDIO_SYSTEM_START=1/' /etc/default/pulseaudio sed -i 's/^ *; *autospawn *= *yes *$/autospawn = no/' /etc/pulse/client.conf rm -f /etc/xdg/autostart/pulseaudio.desktop sed -i 's/^OnlyShowIn=XFCE;$/OnlyShowIn=GNOME;XFCE;/' /etc/xdg/autostart/gnome-volume-control-applet.desktop sed -i 's/load-module module-native-protocol-unix$/load-module module-native-protocol-unix auth-anonymous=1/' /etc/pulse/system.pa if [ "`grep 'sleep 4' /etc/init.d/pulseaudio`" = "" ]; then sed -i 's/\tstart-stop-daemon\(.*\)--start/\tsleep 4\n\tstart-stop-daemon\1--start/' /etc/init.d/pulseaudio fi HTH Storm -- Vinux Publicity Coordinator: http://www.vinuxproject.org/ Registered Linux user number 508465: https://linuxcounter.net/user/508465.html My blog, Thoughts of a Dragon: http://www.stormdragon.us/ Need a safe and easy way to backup and share files?

There is some low security risk when you set it to run system wide, so it is not set by default. If you are using gnome3 then pulse is installed because it is a dependancy.
