Hi,

I am seeing this on /var/log/messages:

...
Feb 17 12:56:47 localhost pulseaudio[2741]: polkit.c: Failed to show grant dialo
g: Unable to lookup exe for caller
Feb 17 12:56:47 localhost pulseaudio[2741]: polkit.c: PolicyKit responded with '
auth_admin_keep_always'
Feb 17 12:56:47 localhost pulseaudio[2741]: main.c: Called SUID root and real-ti
me/high-priority scheduling was requested in the configuration. However, we lack
 the necessary priviliges:
Feb 17 12:56:47 localhost pulseaudio[2741]: main.c: We are not in group 'pulse-r
t' and PolicyKit refuse to grant us priviliges. Dropping SUID again.
Feb 17 12:56:47 localhost pulseaudio[2741]: main.c: For enabling real-time sched
uling please acquire the appropriate PolicyKit priviliges, or become a member of
 'pulse-rt', or increase the RLIMIT_NICE/RLIMIT_RTPRIO resource limits for this
user.
Feb 17 12:56:47 localhost pulseaudio[2741]: main.c: setrlimit(RLIMIT_NICE, (31,
31)) failed: Operation not permitted
Feb 17 12:56:47 localhost pulseaudio[2741]: main.c:
setrlimit(RLIMIT_RTPRIO, (9, 9)) failed: Operation not permitted
...

So, what should I do exactly to fix this?

Regards,

Andre
