Hmm, upstream have now written a proper fix destined for PulseAudio 14: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pulseaudio/pulseaudio/merge_requests/225
Maybe we should change to that. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to pulseaudio in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1847570 Title: PulseAudio automatically switches to HDMI sound output on login Status in PulseAudio: New Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in pulseaudio source package in Eoan: Fix Committed Status in pulseaudio source package in Focal: Fix Released Bug description: [Impact] On my freshly installed eoan system I have two output devices: - HDMI/DisplayPort 2 - GK208 ... - Line Out - Family 17h ... When I login into the system pulseaudio always select the "wrong" one (HDMI) and I need to go to gnome-settings/Sound/Output Device and switch to "line out". This applies to every login/logout not just reboots. [Test Case] 0. Plug in a monitor that supports HDMI audio (one that appears in your Settings>Sound) 1. Log out and in again. Verify the default audio device in Settings is still speakers or headphones. Not the monitor's HDMI audio device. [Regression Potential] Low. The fix proposed just reverts to the same code used in PulseAudio 12 and earlier. It has also been released and verified on focal already. [Workaround] Comment out: load-module module-switch-on-port-available load-module module-switch-on-connect from /etc/pulse/default.pa To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/pulseaudio/+bug/1847570/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
