I'm having a problem with pulseaudio. My machine crashed, and when I rebooted and ran pavucontrol, I got a "Connection Failed: Connection refused" dialog.

When I run pulseaudio --log-level=info --log-target=stderr from the command line, I get the following output:

I believe the relevant part is this:

E: main.c: Module load failed.
E: main.c: Failed to initialize daemon.

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling pulseaudio, I tried to find a way to install module-combine-sink. Nothing worked. I'm on a Debian Squeeze 32-bit machine.

What can I do to fix this?

I had a similar issue (except with "module-cork-music-on-phone" - my Wheezy install just had this on 2012-06-02).

The problem is what the error message says - pulseaudio is trying to load a module that's not present.

Edit the ~/.pulse/default.pa and/or /etc/pulse/default.pa and comment out the offending "load module" lines with a # and the problem goes away.

Downgrading the offending package(s) is another possible fix if the above doesn't work.

Looks like the device drivers are not loading for the sound card.

Try re-configuring alsa, alsactl init and reboot.

EDIT: From your reply it sounds like the kernel package was updated before the crash, and now the new kernel or alsa-base package is giving you problems. There are a bunch of open bugs specific to Intel HD Audio driver.

My recommendation is to reboot and select the previous kernel. You may need to do run altactl init again, but it should work.

The other option (which is what I would do) is install the official driver from RealTek.

  • Updated answer. I'm pretty sure you're running into updated driver issues.
