That is not user friendly. It's not user friendly to have broken internal speakers (you should talk to your computer manufacturer about that ;-) ). Then your computer tricks PA to think that they are in fact working, and as a result PA makes bad decisions. If PA 8.0 makes worse decisions for the corner case of "broken internal speakers", but at the same time makes better decisions for many other people, then I would prefer not to revert my patch. In the wait for a module-port-manager which I never seem to be able to finish (argh), there are at least two workarounds: 1) Unload module-switch-on-port-available, which leaves all switching of ports up to you. or 2) Change /usr/share/pulseaudio/alsa-mixer/ports/analog-output-speaker.conf and add something random that disables it, e g: [Element IDoNotExist] required = any > It will be nice to see an agreed solution for a good way forward, and I am > thankful for the work being done on developing and fixing bugs in the > pulseaudio packages.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> <li>You are the QA Contact for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
