E: Cannot create PulseAudio stream: Connection refused

When I'm running this package, I'm having this weird issue:

E: Cannot create PulseAudio stream: Connection refused

When I'm running pulseaudio --start, I'm having this issue:

E: [] main.c: Daemon startup failed.

When I'm running sudo pulseaudio -D, I'm having this:

This program is not intended to be run as root (unless --system is specified).

When I'm running brew install --without-dbus pulseaudio, nothing changes.

When I'm re-installing (brew reinstall pulseaudio) pulseaudio, nothing changes neither.

I tried what I found on the web but I'm quite lost and not able to figure out what's going on with this package. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Solution

  • I finally found the problem. On MacOS High Sierra, you first need to launch pulseaudio. Once this is done, you need to launch minimodem in a new terminal tab.
