the index should not change should have added check with

Well, i followed some instructions and edited /etc/pulse/default.pa (only this line)
load-module module-stream-restore restore_device=falseso after logging out pulseaudio was not starting after reboot too. So, when i play some tune with audacious and alsa as output it is working.
Does this lead us to the conclusion that it's pulseaudio related or not?

As you changed only pulse's configuration and now it works not sure how you could conclude other than it was a pulse configuration issue.
You could try the alternative methods mentioned in the link if you want to revert that change so as to keep an unmodified /etc/pulse/default.pa
Glad you have working audio

I have working audio without pulseaudio. Pulseaudio does not run at all , and this is the reason I Have working audio through alsa. When pulseaudio was running i could not have audio work with alsa. As i Mentioned above, i want to configure alsa to pulseaudio and after that to jack., the way it was before the upgrade. I have seen that pulseaudio indeed upgraded to 7.0.0. So, now i have working audio WITHOUT pulseaudio, so the problem is not solved.

What output do you get if you try to start pulseaudio from a terminal?
There is nothing to go on at the moment other than that config change stopped pulse audio starting?
Also does reverting the change allow pulse to start?

zab ~ $ pulseaudio --start
E: [pulseaudio] main.c: Daemon startup failed.No, reverting the change does not allow pulse to start. Strange ah?

I had found this
Running
Since version 7.0, PulseAudio on Arch uses socket activation. By default, pulseaudio.socket is enabled for the systemd/User instance.
Note:To disable pulseaudio.socket, make sure that $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/systemd/user/ exists and run systemctl --user mask pulseaudio.socket.
Many desktop environments autostart programs based on desktop files in the /etc/xdg/autostart/ directory. In this case, PulseAudio will be launched automatically regardless of the socket activation status.
in the pulseaudio archwiki.
When i tried to mask pulseaudio /systemd/user did not exist.
zab ~ $ sudo systemctl --user mask pulseaudio
[sudo] password for zab:
Failed to connect to bus: No such file or directoryAlso, I have to mention that I had followed priot to the upgrade, this , similar to the pulseaudio-alsa package etc

Actually, reverting changes started pulseaudio. My mistake, I apologize. But, it blocks alsa again. Same error.

Almost certainly the sudo is stopping that command from working.
Why is pulse blocking applications from using the alsa user space interface an issue as the audio streams would be routed through pulse to the device correct?
Offline
Well, I am afraid it is not sudo related.
zab ~ $ systemctl --user mask pulseaudio
Failed to execute operation: No such file or directoryYes, audio should be routed from alsa to pulseaudio. I think that It is related to masking pulseaudio, so maybe if we solve this the sound configuration will be solved too.
make sure that $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/systemd/user/ exists
How can I check if this exists? And if not HOw can I create one?

systemctl --user mask pulseaudio.socketNote this will only stop socket based startup not start if its spawned by kde etc.
Have you tried using any other audio player than audacious to try and send sound to pulse and see if it produces output from the soundcard?
Its also strange about pulse failing at startup with the config change might try adding -vvv to see if more verbose output is helpful
Offline
zab ~ $ systemctl --user mask pulseaudio.socket
Failed to execute operation: No such file or directory
zab ~ $ sudo systemctl --user mask pulseaudio.socket
[sudo] password for zab:
Failed to connect to bus: No such file or directorySame thing with vlc.
Also, now with restore_device=false pulseaudio starts but same problems with sound. I am convinced that if we fix maskin pulseaudio the problem will be there

systemctl mask pulseaudio.socketsudo maybe needed if you do not have a policy kit agent
checked that command definitely works for me without --user and errors with --user

well, masking pulseaudio succeeded. But, unfortunatly the error is still there.

Yes and as I understand it you want it to output from index 2.
Can you change that using pavucontrol?
It should also be possible from the console using
pacmd move-sink-input index, sinkbut I am unsure of what values you should substitute for index and sink my guess would be 2 for the index and the index value of source sink for sink.

Some strange thing is happening here. In the arch wiki says
Run $ pacmd list-sinks|egrep -i 'index:|name:' to list available sinks. The present default sink is marked with an asterisk.
so
zab ~ $ pacmd list-sinks|egrep -i 'index:|name:'
index: 0
name: <alsa_output.pci-0000_01_05.1.hdmi-stereo>
index: 1
name: <alsa_output.pci-0000_02_00.1.hdmi-stereo>
* index: 2
name: <alsa_output.usb-Burr-Brown_from_TI_USB_Audio_CODEC-00.analog-stereo>
index: 3
name: <alsa_output.pci-0000_00_14.2.analog-stereo>So, the default sink is the index i want. But nothing in the output. Instead it uses index 3.
In the pavucontrol I have index 2 as default.

http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Softwar … ultDevice/
Standard PulseAudio setup doesn't really have a concept of a "default" device. Whenever a new stream appears, PulseAudio's stream-restore module checks if the same stream has been seen before, and if it is, then the stream is connected to the same sink or source where it was previously. There is a concept of a "fallback" device, which is used if the stream has not been seen before.
Any success changing a stream from sink 3 to sink 2 using using pavucontrol?

zab ~ $ pacmd move-sink-input 84 2
No sink input found with this index.Does not work either..
But,
zab ~ $ pacmd move-sink-input 87 alsa_output.usb-Burr-Brown_from_TI_USB_Audio_CODEC-00.analog-stereo returns nothing. What does this mean?
Well, now audacious outputs from the device index 2 . Will this output active after reboot?
Alsa output fails again though.
Also, trying to play some tune with vlc sends sound to index 3.

I expected you to change 84 to the value of the source sink if it changed ( eg you stopped and started output ) it appears to have become 87
But,
zab ~ $ pacmd move-sink-input 87 alsa_output.usb-Burr-Brown_from_TI_USB_Audio_CODEC-00.analog-stereoreturns nothing. What does this mean?

That should be covered in post 44
Does that mean you now have sound output from audacious through pulse?
Alsa output fails again though.
Is that not expected with pulse controlling the device?
Also, trying to play some tune with vlc sends sound to index 3.
Again that should be covered by post 44

Do I have to configure sound in every application once and after that pulseaudio will output to index 2? I understand the post 44 you mentioned before, but why , why before the 7.0.0 version of pulseaudio, I did not have to do all this ? I had alsa routed to pulseaudio, with an .asound.conf file and after that pulse routed to jack. I did not have to worry about which application plays some sound. Also, as far i remember when I had alsa output in an application then sound was routed automatically to pulse device and then pulse to jack. No error at all. I have not rebooted yet, but I suppose from the post 44 that when I reboot and play a tune with audacious it will output to index 2. But do I really need to configure every app?
Can I set alsa as sink-input? So, that every app is with alsa output and then this output is an input for pulseaudio? I think that this is what pulseaudio-alsa package does, it creates this file
zab ~ $ cat /etc/asound.conf
# Use PulseAudio by default
pcm.!default {
type pulse
fallback "sysdefault"
hint {
show on
description "Default ALSA Output (currently PulseAudio Sound Server)"
}
}
ctl.!default {
type pulse
fallback "sysdefault"
}
# vim:set ft=alsaconf:Am I right?

The default sink will be applied only to applications that pulse has not got a stored sink for already. So you need to change each the output for each app that pulse has an incorrect output set for once.
For applications you have never run before it should now work as the default / fallback is set to index2.
I do not think that it was pulse 7 that is the main cause here but
options snd-usb-audio index=0 nrpacks=1became invalid due to support for the option nrpacks being removed. So the module was never loaded. Now this would mean that sink 2 was no longer available so when you tried to output audio pulse routed it to an available sink, sink 3.
Pulse then recorded that sink 3 was the sink it used with for instance audacious. You removed the now unsupported option and allowed sink 2 to return. Then adjusted the default sink back to sink 2 but pulse still had records of sources linked to sink 3.
Can I set alsa as sink-input? So, that every app is with alsa output and then this output is an input for pulseaudio? I think that this is what pulseaudio-alsa package does, it creates this file
zab ~ $ cat /etc/asound.conf # Use PulseAudio by default pcm.!default { type pulse fallback "sysdefault" hint { show on description "Default ALSA Output (currently PulseAudio Sound Server)" } } ctl.!default { type pulse fallback "sysdefault" } # vim:set ft=alsaconf:Am I right?
That in theory should work but then applications are connecting via the alsa emulation of pulse rather than natively and it assumes every application you use support alsa as well as pulse.
This assumes that doing that bypasses pulse's memory of source sink connections when alsa emulation is used and I have no idea if that is true or not.
I have no knowledge of jack so can not help with that.
