no sound after suspend or hibernate

Hi all,

I'm having issues for a long time with my sound. Almost every time when I start my system after suspend or hibernate state, there is no sound. Sometimes I get this fixed with:

$ pulseaudio -vvvvv
$ pulseaudio --kill

Besides that, I have these 2 lines in my ~/.config/i3/config:

exec --no-startup-id pulseaudio --kill
exec --no-startup-id pulseaudio -vvvvv

but they don't really help.

Now, I just saw by coincidence this post:

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=257043

and tried:

$ systemctl --user status pulseaudio{,.socket}

Any ideas how can I finally fix pulseaudio?

Re: no sound after suspend or hibernate

Thanks for the response!

Hmm. I haven't seen this before...

I just did it. Let's see if it works.

I'm not marking yet the post as solved. I'll report back, after some hibernations and suspends...

-----------------
UPDATE:

Nope. It doesn't...
It worked one time after hibernation. I just started the system from suspend mode and I had no sound again.
My speakers were not there as sink. I had to kill and restart pulseaudio to get the sound back.
