Hello All,<br>
<br>
I'm using Debian Testing with KDE desktop, and having problem with<br>
PulseAudio's sound card detection.<br>
<br>
The system I'm using has three sound sinks (or cards if you wish):<br>
- nVidia GTX680's sound output over DisplayPort.<br>
- Intel's on board HD audio.<br>
- ASUS Xonar D2X on PCIe (CMedia CM8788) [Preferred & default card].<br>
<br>
All of the cards are well supported under Linux, ALSA and PulseAudio,<br>
however PulseAudio is sometimes do not detecting my soundcard and revert<br>
to one of the other cards as it pleases. The problem started with a<br>
kernel update (I don't remember the exact version). What I've diagnosed<br>
is as follows:<br>
- Card is always operational. Present in lspci, initialized correctly<br>
(D2X has hard relays as mute switches and I hear the distinctive CLACK<br>
sound when the card is initialized).<br>
- ALSA always detecting and calling the card settings from persistence<br>
as it should, I verified with ALSA mixer.<br>
- Deleting PulseAudio settings and restarting daemon generally has no help.<br>
- When card is not detected it's completely absent from PulseAudio's<br>
configuration and configuration database.<br>
- I sometimes need to shutdown and restart the PC two to three times to<br>
get the sound card back.<br>
- It's more likely occur if I log-on to my PC late (press the power<br>
button, get a cup of tea, drink some, wander off and login).<br>
- There's no terse/warning/error logs anywhere. Everything is working as<br>
it should on paper, so I cannot debug the problem.<br>
<br>
Did anyone experience anything like this? I have the ability to debug<br>
and patch the code if necessary, and if someone can at least show me the<br>
right place for discussing this stuff I'd be grateful.<br>

I'm having the same problem on Kubuntu 18.10, PulseAudio 12.2. `pactl list cards` does not list D2X but it is clearly present in `aplay -L` and `alsa-info` output.<br>
<br>
Were you able to resolve or debug the problem?<div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><br>
