[SOLVED] Pulseaudio fallback sink problem

Hi everyone, I'm posting here because I can't change my default sink device in pulseadio

I'll explain :

Actually it's : alsa_output.pci-0000_01_00.1.hdmi-stereo

And I would like to change it to : alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1b.0.analog-stereo

So when I do : pacmd set-default-sink alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1b.0.analog-stereo
no error appears, like it work, but when i do : pacmd stat i can see that the default sink havn't changed, it still is : alsa_output.pci-0000_01_00.1.hdmi-stereo

I aulso tried to change it into my /etc/pulse/default.pa by putting set-default-sink alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1b.0.analog-stereo but nothing changed

Does anyone have an idea of why it wouldn't work ?

Thanks

Re: [SOLVED] Pulseaudio fallback sink problem

maybe you should start pulseaudio as user:

systemctl --user start pulseaudio

and enable it as user, the same way

systemctl --user enable pulseaudio

Re: [SOLVED] Pulseaudio fallback sink problem

I did those two commands and it changed the order of the cards in "pacmd stat"

And after some tweaking in /etc/pulse/default.pa it finally worked.

Many thanks !
