Troubleshooting • Unable to start Pulseaudio

I have been following this tutorial:

https://github.com/FutureProofHomes/wyo ... seaudio.md

To get Pulseaudio set up with a Respeaker 2 mic hat. I get everything installed and the service set up and when I check the status of the service with

Code:

sudo systemctl status pulseaudio.service
I get this error:

Code:

  pulseaudio.service - PulseAudio system server     Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/pulseaudio.service; enabled; preset: enabled)     Active: inactive (dead)Dec 30 19:54:32 garage-satellite2 pulseaudio[456]: Failed to find a working profile.Dec 30 19:54:32 garage-satellite2 pulseaudio[456]: Failed to load module "module-alsa-card" (argument: "device_id="2" name="platform-fef05700.hdmi" card_name="alsa_card.platform-fef05700.hdmi" namereg_fail=false tsched=yes fixed_latency_range=no ignore_dB=no deferred_volume=yes use_ucm=yes avoid_resampling=no card_properties="module-udev-detect.discovered=1""): initialization failed.Dec 30 19:54:32 garage-satellite2 pulseaudio[456]: Failed to find a working profile.Dec 30 19:54:32 garage-satellite2 pulseaudio[456]: Failed to load module "module-alsa-card" (argument: "device_id="2" name="platform-fef05700.hdmi" card_name="alsa_card.platform-fef05700.hdmi" namereg_fail=false tsched=yes fixed_latency_range=no ignore_dB=no deferred_volume=yes use_ucm=yes avoid_resampling=no card_properties="module-udev-detect.discovered=1""): initialization failed.Dec 30 19:54:32 garage-satellite2 pulseaudio[456]: Failed to find a working profile.Dec 30 19:54:32 garage-satellite2 pulseaudio[456]: Failed to load module "module-alsa-card" (argument: "device_id="2" name="platform-fef05700.hdmi" card_name="alsa_card.platform-fef05700.hdmi" namereg_fail=false tsched=yes fixed_latency_range=no ignore_dB=no deferred_volume=yes use_ucm=yes avoid_resampling=no card_properties="module-udev-detect.discovered=1""): initialization failed.Dec 30 19:58:04 garage-satellite2 systemd[1]: Stopping pulseaudio.service - PulseAudio system server...Dec 30 19:58:04 garage-satellite2 systemd[1]: pulseaudio.service: Deactivated successfully.Dec 30 19:58:04 garage-satellite2 systemd[1]: Stopped pulseaudio.service - PulseAudio system server.Dec 30 19:58:04 garage-satellite2 systemd[1]: pulseaudio.service: Consumed 1.065s CPU time.
For some reason it is trying to output sound to the hdmi port? I have looked into the pulseaudio configuration and confirmed that the default sink is set to the hat. If I give a file to play:

Code:

paplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav
Then it will play exactly where I instructed it to. If I start the service, though, or even if I just start pulseaudio myself I get the same error. I have tried this on a Rasberry pi 3b and a Rasberry pi 4b using the lite and full 64 bit versions of the OS. I have even connected a TV to the HDMI port(s) and still the same thing.

I think it has to do with the module-udev-detect which says it detects hardware automatically and loads the drivers for it.

Any help would be appreciated
