Hi, with Debian 11, latest updates and backports enabled, I very ofthen have the problem that no sound is available after login into Mate. I normaly use a headset for work and when this headset is plugged in all is fine. But sometimes, when I want to use the laptop without the headset, no sound is there after login into Mate. Sometimes a reboot fixes this issue, very ofthen this does not help. To get sound back the only working fix is to plugin the headset and plug it of again.
Strangely this whole thing is totaly random. Sometimes its working wit or without a headset for days, but e.g. this morning even two reboots did not bring sound back with no headset plugged in. Is there a reproducable way or configuration I can have sound in Mate in all situations and where it does not matter if a headset is plugged in or not? Is this another bad issue with pulseaudio and might a switch to pipewire help? Ciao and thanks for any helpfull hint, Schoepp
