Pulseaudiocontrol headphones no sound

Hello i installed Arch and i did not have any sound, so i installed alsa-utils, pulseaudio and pavucontrol. im using a Create sound Blaster Ae5 with headphones. After installing i still had no sound. I managed to get sound after changing in alsamixer the output for my soundcard to headphones and i had to change in pavucontrol under Output Devices-> Mysoundcard->port from Headphones(plugged in) to Line Out(unplugged) this results in me having sound. My problem with this solution is that whenever i reboot, i have to open pavucontrol and change the port again to Line Out(unplugged) since it reset to Headphones(plugged in). Does anyone know how to fix that ?

Re: Pulseaudiocontrol headphones no sound

Append a command to force toggle on pulseaudio start to the end of /etc/pulse/default.pa i.e.

.nofail
set-sink-port alsa.outputXXX.headphones alsa.outputXXX.lineout

You'll find the correct tokens from the output of pacmd list-sinks
