Title: [SRU]There is no available audio entry in sound settings after execute suspend in 'Performance mode' Status in HWE Next: New Status in OEM Priority Project: In Progress Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu: Fix Committed Status in pulseaudio source package in Bionic: Confirmed Status in pulseaudio source package in Eoan: Won't Fix Status in pulseaudio source package in Focal: Fix Committed Status in pulseaudio source package in Groovy: Fix Committed Bug description: [Impact] On some I+N machines (inlcuding lenovo and dell machines), after setting the graphic mode to perofermance mode, and open the gnome sound seting, run suspend/resume test, the audio devices will disappear from UI, instead a dummy audio shows on the UI, and from then on, the audio can't work anymore. [Fix] The root cause is after resuming, the pulseaudio try to recover the PCM device, but at that moment, the devices nodes at /dev/snd/ are not accessible yet sometimes, it will make snd_pcm_open fail and the pulseaudio will calll unload_module to unload alsa audio card. I cherrpicked a fix from upstream, the fix adds retry and pa_msleep(), this will retry the snd_pcm_open() a couple of times if it fails. [Test Case] Install the pulseaudio wit this fix, set the graphic mode to performance mode, open the sound setting, then run suspend/resume 90 times, after test check the audio devices on the UI, the speaker, digital mic are still on the UI, and they could work well. [Regression Risk] Low, this SRU just add retry and pa_msleep(), if the snd_pcm_open() doesn't fail, this patch will not introduce any change, if snd_pcm_open() fails, it just retry a couple of times, so it will not introduce the regression in theory.
