# forked-daapd and Pulseaudio

## Setting up Pulseaudio

If you see a "Connection refused" error when starting forked-daapd, then you
will probably need to setup Pulseaudio to run in system mode. This means that

How to start Pulseaudio depends on your distribution, but in many cases you will
need to add a pulseaudio.service file to /etc/systemd/system with the following

After you have added the file you can check it is running with "systemctl
pulseaudio status".


## Setting up forked-daapd:

Add the forked-daapd user to the pulse-access group:

`adduser daapd pulse-access`


## Bluetooth

[TBD]
