[SOLVED] Pulseaudio stops working after reboot with sway wm.

After reboot pulseaudio stop working and needs to be killed and restarted for sound to work using

pulseaudio -k
pulseaudio --start

Removing files in home directory is useless.

Here is output of 

pacmd list-sinks
1 sink(s) available.

		analog-output-headphones: Headphones (priority 9900, latency offset 0 usec, available: yes)
			properties:
				device.icon_name = "audio-headphones"
	active port: <analog-output-headphones>

It says device is SUSPENDED cause IDLE, I don't know why this is happening, I've tried disabling 

load-module module-suspend-on-idle

in /etc/pulse/default.pa but result is same - audio does not work except the output of 

pacmd list-sinks

changes to

...
	state: IDLE
	suspend cause: (none)
...

Also programs using alsa works fine i.e. audio works if I specify default sound card in /etc/asound.conf

Strangely this issue only happens when pulseaudio is started first time on reboot, on first reboot the pulseaudio cannot play anything and device state remains IDLE or SUSPENDED

Masking pulseaudio.service seems to fix the issue, but I don't think it is the right solution

systemctl --user mask pulseaudio.service

Re: [SOLVED] Pulseaudio stops working after reboot with sway wm.

I found that the issue only exists when starting sway directly from tty, using sddm as login manager have fixed the issue for me.

Re: [SOLVED] Pulseaudio stops working after reboot with sway wm.

Ohh yeah! been into same scenario, sddm helped me to fix the issue
