As many other users I experience a malfunction of Pulseaudio on latest Win 10 Pro keeping X2go from transmitting sound from the host machine. This is still the case with the latest nightly build of x2go. Messages like "Pulsaudio can't be started" or "can't play start tone" show up). The error message on the command line :

[(null)] pulsecore/core-util.c: Secure directory creation not supported on this platform

and daemon/core.c: Failed to allocate shared memory pool. Falling back to a normal memory pool daemon/main.c: Daemon startup without any loaded modules, refusing to work

This seems to be due to new security measures in Win10. Forcing admin rights or using compatibility mode does not help.

Does anyone know a workaround? Yours, Daniel
