Title:
PulseAudio Assertion 'section' in pa_alsa_element_get() when laptop in
docking station
Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu:
Expired
Bug description:
https://errors.ubuntu.com/problem/5bc83665288ea40e5ad4564ebe20d1ab81d04fd3

PulseAudio 1:13.99.1-1ubuntu3.10, Ubuntu 20.04.2
Laptop: Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon 7th
Soundcards:
0 [sofhdadsp ]: sof-hda-dsp - sof-hda-dsp
LENOVO-20QES01L00-ThinkPadX1Carbon7th
1 [Audio ]: USB-Audio - ThinkPad Dock USB Audio
Generic ThinkPad Dock USB Audio at
usb-0000:00:14.0-5.4.4, high speed
When the laptop is not docked, everything works fine. Sound is played
using the laptop internal speakers. When the laptop is in the docking
station, the sound in KDE is not working (no sound devices are shown).
Pulseaudio is crashing with an Assertion.

E: [pulseaudio] alsa-mixer.c: Assertion 'section' failed at
modules/alsa/alsa-mixer.c:1954, function pa_alsa_element_get(). Aborting.
Prime suspect for the change is an "Embedded Controller Update" by
fwupdmgr, which was installed a while ago, and applied during last
reboot. This cannot be downgraded (Lenovo does not support that).

Checked the backup a couple days back, there are no differences in
/etc/alsa, /etc/pulse, or /usr/share/alsa and /usr/share/pulseaudio.
When I remove all config from the following files:
* /usr/share/pulseaudio/alsa-mixer/paths/analog-output-headphones-2.conf
* /usr/share/pulseaudio/alsa-mixer/paths/analog-output-headphones.conf
* /usr/share/pulseaudio/alsa-mixer/paths/analog-output-lineout.conf
* /usr/share/pulseaudio/alsa-mixer/paths/analog-output-speaker.conf
* /usr/share/pulseaudio/alsa-mixer/paths/analog-output.conf
* /usr/share/pulseaudio/alsa-mixer/paths/analog-output.conf.common
then Pulseaudio is starting without error, but missing large parts of
the audio configuration.
