The reason it doesnt play, is because when using the system account to play a sound, the audio card is not started/running in that user session (the system account). As such, you have to re-direct the audio output to an actual user session, assumedly a user that is logged in. There may be other ...

End goal: I have a partial solution - I will put that in my 2nd post on this topic!

I can only store 2 days instead of 2 months. Nothing else has changed other than the upgrade. I believe I had either a VAAPI or ...
