 +===== Simultaneous on HDMI and Analog =====
 +Run paprefs, go to last tab "Simultaneous Output" and enable feature.
 +This will add new device for both HDMI and Analog output and set it as default one.
 +
 +===== No sound =====
 +As as normal user try to start "pulseaudio --check" command:
 +<code>
 +E: [pulseaudio] core-util.c: Failed to create secure directory (/run/user/1000/pulse): Permission denied
 +</code>
 +
 +<code bash>
 +ls -l /run/user/1000/
 +</code>
 +shows that pulse dir is owned by root (Probably pusleaudio was spawned when user switch to root using su or sudo)
 +<code>rm -r /run/user/1000/pulse</code>
