<div>I think I've got the log. I had to edit the main pulseaudio.service file because it was saying something about "bad unit" when I used the suggested command. And I could only find the logs in the main journalctl output (not with --user or --unit or --user-unit) so I just grepped on pulseaudio which is why the logs also contain some other lines (like dbus for pulseaudio). <br></div><div><br></div><div>I made one log with the default timeout of systemd, showing that it times out, <span><span>pulseaudio_system_log_timeout.txt</span></span></div><div>I made another one where I set the timeout to 5 minutes, <span><span>pulseaudio_system_log.txt</span></span></div><div><span><span><br></span></span></div><div><span><span>I hope this helps.

Dear Maintainer,<br>
<br>
Pulseaudio is taking longer to start up than the default 90 seconds that <br>
systemd allows for a service. This means that Pulseaudio does not work on <br>
startup and no matter how much you try to restart it (through systemd), <br>
it won't start up correctly. <br>
<br>
Not sure if this is the cause, but this happened after a recent upgrade that <br>
removed consolekit and upgraded the linux kernel from 4.18.0-1 to 4.18.0-2<br>
I changed the timeout of pulseaudio.service to 5 minutes which allowed<br>
Pulseaudio sufficient time to start up correctly. <br>
<br>
I have pretty decent hardware though, so I would have expected the default<br>
timeout for Pulseaudio to be more than sufficient. It has been sufficient <br>
on this hardware until now. I'm not sure what's relevant for Pulseaudio, but<br>
my system uses the motherboard's onboard sound chip (Realtek ALC S1220A) on<br>
an AMD Ryzen system.<br>
<br>
I'm not sure why Pulseaudio is suddenly taking so much longer to start (or maybe<br>
systemd shortened the default timeout). But it's worth noting that for some <br>
reason I still had HDMI audio output, even with pulseaudio timed out. This is<br>
something that actually hadn't worked before and I haven't really tested it<br>
since the kernel with amdgpu dc has been available. Not sure if that's relevant.<br> </blockquote><div><br></div><div>Possibly.
