Hello,

I lose audio after rebooting my computer. It comes back if I remove my speaker cable from the jack ( in the computer, not the monitor ) and reinsert it.

It is a nuisance I would like to get rid of.

Some more information about my system:

Open Pavucontrol and check which output is selected. Is that the output
you want?

How is your monitor connected?
HDMI and DP provide audio and most monitors will only play that when
the picture comes from DP/HDMI and ignore the analog audio jack.

This happened for some years on my mini server machine. One day it
stopped happening.

I suspected a "feature" of the desktop and it's audio mixer. Pulse involved.

Audio is via display HDMI connector. I had to connect and disconnect the
headphone to get it working.

Using openSUSE Leap 15.4 and 15.5; XFCE desktop.

Cheers, Carlos.

Carlos,

It is nice to know that someday I may be spontaneously set free! LOL

Post the output of the following commands:

# list available and default audio output (pseudo)devices
LANG=C pactl list short sources 2>&1 | grep output
echo
LANG=C pactl info | grep -e '^Default Sink'| sed 's@\(.\{60\}\).*@\1@'
# Is the default output device the one you think it is?

# check the volume of the default audio output device; is it muted?
env LANG=C pactl list sinks | awk '/^Sink/||/Volume:/'

Depending on what the output of the above commands is you may need to
(re)define the default audio output device and/or change its volume setting.

# select default audio device
env LANG=C pactl list short sinks 2>&1 | grep output | sed 's@\(.\{60\}\).*@\1@'
read -p "Select default output device: " # enter the index number
[ ! -z "$REPLY" ] && pacmd set-default-sink "$REPLY"

# change volume setting
PA_sink='<some (pseudo)device from the list above>' # full name, not just the index number
env LANG=C pactl set-sink-volume $PA_sink 70%

If the problem is gone, insert the appropriate commands in some
user/terminal session startup file.

I thought I had replied to this post, but it did not go through.

Anyway, I fixed the problem.

I did these things and now I am free of the PITA of having to pull my speaker cable out of my PC and putting it back in after a reboot.

1. sudo apt-get install --reinstall alsa-base pulseaudio
2. sudo alsa force-reload
3. Went to my home directory and then went to the hidden config directory for pulse. Renamed the directory forcing a new config for pulse:
4. mv ~/.config/pulse ~/.config/old_pulse

This is probably what fixed it.

Out of curiosity, have you tried comparing the new config with the old
one, to see what’s different?

Are you brave enough to swap them around, and see if the problem comes
back? ;)
