But the behaviour on Xavion's machine is not. PulseAudio sees that HDMI is available and headphones are not. In this situation the HDMI sink should automatically become the default. Can you attach (use the "Add an attachment" link, don't paste to the comment box) the verbose log of the pulseaudio server? Instructions for getting the log: 1. Disable automatic starting of PulseAudio. If your distro uses systemd's socket activation to start PulseAudio, run systemctl --user --now mask pulseaudio.service pulseaudio.socket If your distro doesn't do that, put "autospawn = no" to ~/.config/pulse/client.conf. 2. Stop pulseaudio with "killall pulseaudio" (the previous systemctl command might have stopped it already, though). 3. Start pulseaudio in a terminal with verbose logging: pulseaudio -vv 4. Run "pactl set-default-sink alsa_output.pci-0000_00_03.0.hdmi-stereo-extra1" 5. Stop pulseaudio with ctrl-c. 6. To return things back to normal, run systemctl --user unmask pulseaudio.service pulseaudio.socket if you masked the service before. And remove the "autospawn = no" line from client.conf if you added it there.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the QA Contact for the bug.</li> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
