Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/2472

I have to:
killall pulseaudio
at every boot to get fj'ed sandboxes to connect to pulse audio prperly. Even then virtualbox VMs don't.
Running latest Fedora Cinnamon latest distro. Is this common experience?

Tested Fedora 29 GNOME, MATE, and Cinnamon: audio works just fine.

are you using HDMI audio output or bluetooth?
have you modified /etc/firejail/globals.local?

You could also run "firecfg --fix-sound" from a terminal. It will set Pulse for your user account with a very general configuration known to work with firejail. After you run the command you need to logout and login again to have the Pulse server restarted.
