Running Spotify Linux preview results in no sound when in i3. I've checked pulseaudio with `pact list` and it seems to be running fine. Chrome outputs sound fine. Running spotify from the command-line shows the following log messages 15:11:57.567 I [audio_driver_linux.cpp:18 ] Using PulseAudio [mp3 @ 0xb0965513200] max_analyze_duration reached [mp3 @ 0xb0965513200] Estimating duration from bitrate, this may be inaccurate 15:11:57.660 I [audio_file_decompressor_ffmpeg.cpp:628] ffmpeg: open /home/tianlu/Music/2Pac/All Eyez On Me/2-04 Wonda Why They Call U Bitch.mp3 15:11:57.662 D [spirc_manager.cpp:578 ] GAIA: SpircManager::stpLoad, track=spotify:local:2Pac:All+Eyez+on+Me+%28Book+Two%29:Wonda+Why+They+Call+U+Bitch:260, index=0, position=3101, paused=0 15:11:57.662 D [spirc_manager.cpp:1712 ] GAIA: SpircManager::becomeActiveDevice, isActiveDevice=true you can see that the song is being played but there is no sound.Thu, 04 Sep 2014 15:23:08 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/4601/spotify-linux-preview/https://faq.i3wm.org/question/4601/spotify-linux-preview/?comment=4605#comment-4605It works with Unity and Lubuntu. If I exit i3 and log back into Unity spotify produces sound again. I'm not sure if the issue is with i3 or spotify, but perhaps a combination of both.Fri, 05 Sep 2014 20:42:53 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/4601/spotify-linux-preview/?comment=4605#comment-4605https://faq.i3wm.org/question/4601/spotify-linux-preview/?comment=4604#comment-4604Does it work with other window managers? Or why do you think it is a problem with i3 rather than with spotify?Fri, 05 Sep 2014 09:05:43 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/4601/spotify-linux-preview/?comment=4604#comment-4604
