# forked-daapd and Pulseaudio
|
||||
|
||||
You have the choice of runnning Pulseaudio either in system mode or user mode.
|
||||
For headless servers, i.e. systems without desktop users, system mode is
|
||||
recommended.
|
||||
|
||||
If there is a desktop user logged in most of the time, a setup with network
|
||||
access via localhost only for daemons is a more appropriate solution, since the
|
||||
normal user administration (with, e.g., `pulseaudio -k`) works as advertised.
|
||||
Also, the user specific configuration for pulseaudio is preserved across
|
||||
sessions as expected.

|

System mode is generally only recommended for headless servers, i.e.,
|
||||
systems without desktop users.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## User Mode with Network Access
|
||||
|
||||
If there is a desktop user logged in most of the time, a setup with
|
||||
[network access via localhost
|
||||
only](http://billauer.co.il/blog/2014/01/pa-multiple-users/)
|
||||
for daemons is a more appropriate solution, since the normal user
|
||||
administration (with, e.g., `pulseaudio -k`) works as
|
||||
advertised. Also, the user specific configuration for pulseaudio is
|
||||
preserved across sessions as expected.
|
||||
|
||||
Quoting from the above blog, the necessary setup (per user) boils down
|
||||
to:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Step1: Copy system pulseaudio configuration to the users home directory
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
mkdir -p ~/.pulse
|
||||
cp /etc/pulse/default.pa ~/.pulse/
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 2: Enable TCP access from localhost only
|
||||
|
||||
Edit the file `~/.pulse/default.pa` , adding the following line at the end:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
load-module module-native-protocol-tcp auth-ip-acl=127.0.0.1
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 3: Restart the pulseaudio deamon
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
pulseaudio -k
|
||||
# OR
|
||||
pulseaudio -D
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 4:
|
||||
|
||||
In the `audio` section of `/etc/forked-daapd.conf`, set `server` to `localhost`:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
server = "localhost"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## System Mode
|
||||
|
||||
This guide was written based on headless Debian Jessie platforms. Most of the
|
||||
instructions will require that you are root.

will probably need to setup Pulseaudio to run in system mode [1]. This means

Now the speaker should appear in forked-daapd. You can also verify that

Pulseaudio has detected the speaker with `pactl list sinks short`.

```
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 4: Adjust configuration file
|
||||
|
||||
In the `audio` section of `/etc/forked-daapd.conf`, set `server` to `localhost`:

```

server = "localhost"
