[SOLVED] Pulseaudio chooses HDMI and digital rather than analog sink

Hello,

I have been experiencing this issue for a couple of days. Whenever I boot into the system, I have no sound. Sound has worked fine with default configuration in the past. When I open up KDE's system settings and select audio/video settings, there are four choices : HDMI from the nvidia card ; the Intel digital output ; the Intel analog output ; and a simultaneous output to HDMI and digital outputs. The analog output is greyed out. When I move into the configuration sub header, I see that the HDMI nvidia card has been selected. By clicking on the drop down box, I can choose the Intel soundcard and get sound working. When I move back to first sub heading the analog output remains greyed out. However, it is working. Unfortunately, the new configuration is lost after each shutdown and reboot.

cat  /proc/asound/pcm
00-00: VT1708S Analog : VT1708S Analog : playback 1 : capture 1
00-01: VT1708S Digital : VT1708S Digital : playback 1
01-03: HDMI 0 : HDMI 0 : playback 1
01-07: HDMI 1 : HDMI 1 : playback 1

Before selecting the analog output, "pacmd list sinks" gives the following :

I am using :
pulseaudio 12.0.1
linux 4.17.2-1
kde (up to date)

Although I can work around the issue by manually selecting the analog output in KDE systemsettings as described above, I would like to fix the issue. I have tried deleting ~/.config/pulse and have double checked that I don't have a ~/.config/pulse/default.pa file.

Here is my /etc/pulse/default.pa :

Re: [SOLVED] Pulseaudio chooses HDMI and digital rather than analog sink

Post

pacmd list-sinks
pacmd list-sink-inputs #During working playback

instead. Presumably you've never explicitly set the pulse default device, and phonon isn't really usable for this, set the default or depending on UI fallback device either in pavucontrol or in the settings UI of plasma-pa (that is different from the phonon settings, available under the "Volume" kcm as opposed to the Audio and Video one, yes it can get confusing, there are some historical reasons for why it is setup like it is)

Yes, you are correct in assuming that I have never explicitly set the default device. It always just worked out-of-the-box. I only included the default.pa file so people could rule it out as an issue.
I can't set anything in plasma-pa or pavucontrol as they only offer the hdmi or internal digital Intel card, or a simultaneous output to both digital and HDMI.

Thanks.

Re: [SOLVED] Pulseaudio chooses HDMI and digital rather than analog sink

That looks alright (the default device, as indicated by the *, is correct, but your card profile is improperly reset I assume) likely a side effect of https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Softwa … pdifoutput the least invasive fix for this would be to append

set-card-profile alsa_card.pci-0000_00_1b.0 output:analog-stereo+input:analog-stereo

to the end of your /etc/pulse/default.pa

That fixed the issue. Thanks for taking the time to explain that to me.
