Doesn't matter if I do `pulseaudio -k` or kill it from htop, `pactl exit` doesn't work either, it always respawns. Already tried editing `client.conf` as the wiki suggests:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pu … ing_killed
Tried both paths:
* ~/.config/pulse/client.conf
* /etc/pulse/client.conf
I need to kill it in order to use hdajackretask. Also tried
pasuspender -- hdajackretask
but I still get
tee:/sys/class/sound/hwC0D0/reconfig: Device or resource busy
(busy is because pulseaudio is running)

This worked:
https://superuser.com/questions/1170433 … to-stop-it
To stop user services it's necessary to use the parameter --user:
systemctl --user stop pulseaudio.socket
systemctl --user stop pulseaudio.service

systemctl --user mask pulseaudio.socket #unmask to revert
systemctl --user stop pulseaudio.service
Pulse uses systemd socket activation since quite some time, I'll have to update the pulse article sometime, that's not the only inconsistency with the modern state in the wiki.
Edit: Ah I should F5 before sending

As default, pulseaudio is installed as autostart for xfce4 desktop, I did try various methods to try to kill it, it always restart.
so I do the below
sudo mv /usr/bin/pulseaudio /usr/bin/pulseaudio.mv
pulseaudio -k
After finish my work, I mv it back.

Please don't randomly necrobump things (again). Granted you are logging in properly, masking the relevant socket should without any other possibility stop this from happening.
Closing.
