Looks like there is an issue with the SSL certificate from freedesktop.org.

To complete the build i had to replace the source from https://freedesktop.org to https://www.freedesktop.org in PKGBUILD.

I am getting weird/distorted sounds. I killed existing pulse and started pulseaudio -vvvv inside terminal started in xrdp session.

I don't know what is going wrong

The SSL certificate for https://freedesktop.org/software/pulseaudio/releases/pulseaudio-x.x.tar.xz is currently invalid so this doesn't build.

The cert for https://www.freedesktop.org/software/pulseaudio/releases/pulseaudio-x.x.tar.xz is fine so can build using that.

Please depend on pulse-native-provider instead of pulseaudio. See https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/pipewire/-/issues/10

finally i make it work...but ugly, add this to i3 config

exec --no-startup-id run_forever.sh

run_forever.sh:

#!/bin/bash
while true
do
/usr/bin/pulseaudio
done

@D3vil0p3r install meta package base-devel

For compiling the package cmake and pkgconfig are needed. Also m4, autoconf, automake... Furthermore I guess that also other dependencies are needed. When I try to install it, I get the following error and "NO" messages:

I further decided to try commenting-out all lines with pam_systemd_home.so in /etc/pam.d/system-auth. No luck, even after rebooting.

@sshaikh

Thanks for the pointer. I commented-out this line in /etc/pam.d/system-auth:

-auth [success=2 default=ignore] pam_systemd_home.so

Then I rebooted and encountered the same situation. I then ran systemctl stop --user pulseaudio.socket, verified that pulseaudio wasn't running, followed by systemctl start --user pulseaudio.service (which should pull in the config from ~/.config/systemd/user/pulseaudio.service.d/xrdp.conf, or so says the output of systemctl cat --user pulseaudio.service), and I still hear nothing but see activity.

I have tried installing Remmina and FreeRDP on a Linux machine and performed my testing, with the same results (or lack thereof) that RoyalTSX 5.1.2 (which, as I mentioned previously, also uses FreeRDP) on my Mac (now 13.3.1) is experiencing.

I might be misremembering, but I recall having issues with sound because no user session was being created. I don't know what that means, but it lead me to this:

https://github.com/neutrinolabs/xrdp/issues/1684

and editing system-auth fixed a few things (which may have included sound).
