[SOLVED]PulseAudio : No sound, Gnome doesn't show Analog Output

Hi,

I have a problem with PulseAudio on Gnome. The Gnome Settings Panel shows only Digital output (for example, my HDMI output on my graphic card) so i cannot select analog of the onboard soundcard and don't have sound until i do this workaround : i have to delete all files in ~/.config/pulse and do 'pulseaudio -k' to have sound. If i launch an application then quit which has sound event, i lose sound and have to do the workaround yet.

Here my aplay -lL :

$ aplay -lL

I do the modification for fluidsynth, and it doesn't help for my problem.

Thanks for any help.

Re: [SOLVED]PulseAudio : No sound, Gnome doesn't show Analog Output

Is the pactl list output from before or after such a breakage? Can you post

sudo fuser -v /dev/snd/*

while it isn't working and you only see the digital devices? I'd assume something fishy is going on with GDM and the pulse daemon it starts before your own.

Re: [SOLVED]PulseAudio : No sound, Gnome doesn't show Analog Output

Thanks for your answer.

My pactl list output is after i've done the workaround.

'sudo fuser -v /dev/snd/*' gives me :

sudo fuser -v /dev/snd/*

Re: [SOLVED]PulseAudio : No sound, Gnome doesn't show Analog Output

OK, i have a possible found a solution.

The problem is i plugged my speakers into the black jack of my soundcard, which corresponds to the subwoofer output (i think). If i plug to the green jack, PulseAudio detects it and in Gnome Settings Panel i can select my soundcard. The only thing a bit curious is my soundcard is named as 'Line Out'  (see screenshot). I don't have any problem of a revert back to a Digital Output so i do not need to do the workaround as explained at the begining of the topic. I consider that it  is solved.
