I’m trying to run Mopidy as a service following this guide: https://docs.mopidy.com/en/latest/running/service/
I put this in /etc/pulse/default.pa:
load-module module-native-protocol-tcp auth-ip-acl=127.0.0.1
And I put this in my mopidy config:
[audio] output = pulsesink server=127.0.0.1
I still can’t hear anything when I run mopidy as a service. Does anyone know how I can fix this or where I can find log info? Thanks
Hi Paul,
to see what might be wrong, its reasonable to first look into the service’s status with service mopidy status. There you can see whether the service is up and running and also see the latest lines of the log.
To get more log insights you can also go to your system’s log and filter it for lines including mopidy using cat /var/log/syslog | grep mopidy.
If there is a problem with pulseaudio, I’d expect to find an error message like ERROR [MainThread] mopidy.audio.gst GStreamer error: pa_stream_writable_size() failed: Connection terminated or similar.
One thing you can do is looking whether the mopidy user can play anything using the pulse server you specified with sudo -u mopidy paplay -s 127.0.0.1 [Path to some sound file] . You could use /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Noise.wav as test file if you don’t happen to have something else on your disk.
If the paplay fails, mopidy is innocent and the issue lies somewhere in pulseaudio.
Hope that helps for a start 
Philipp
