I did the modification : [Unit] Description=Sound Service # We require pulseaudio.socket to be active before starting the daemon, because # while it is possible to use the service without the socket, it is not clear # why it would be desirable. # # A user installing pulseaudio and doing `systemctl --user start pulseaudio` # will not get the socket started, which might be confusing and problematic if # the server is to be restarted later on, as the client autospawn feature # might kick in. Also, a start of the socket unit will fail, adding to the # confusion. # # After=pulseaudio.socket is not needed, as it is already implicit in the # socket-service relationship, see systemd.socket(5). Requires=pulseaudio.socket ConditionUser=!root
[Service] ExecStart=/usr/bin/pulseaudio -vvvv --daemonize=no --log-target=file:/home/$USER/pulse.txt LockPersonality=yes MemoryDenyWriteExecute=yes NoNewPrivileges=yes Restart=on-failure RestrictNamespaces=yes SystemCallArchitectures=native SystemCallFilter=@system-service # Note that notify will only work if --daemonize=no Type=notify UMask=0077 Slice=session.slice [Install] Also=pulseaudio.socket WantedBy=default.target However, after rebooting the system, I couldn't locate the pulse.txt file in my home directory (/home/$USER/) or by searching it, and have confirmed that hidden files are visible. On a positive note, I noticed that I can now choose the headphone microphone from the input device list without the need to delete and re-setup the headphone from the Bluetooth settings. Thanks for the help.

Primarily, upon starting my laptop, the audio often fails to work, displaying "Dummy Output." To resolve this, I find myself needing to restart the laptop two or three times before the audio becomes functional. Even when the audio is working, I've noticed a recurring issue where, after playing video or audio for approximately 2-3 minutes, the sound starts crackling and buzzing. The intensity of these distortions gradually increases, resembling the static interference on a radio station with a weak signal. This issue persists even when using 3.5mm headphones, requiring the use of a USB headset or Bluetooth headphones to enjoy distortion-free audio. Furthermore, I have observed that, regardless of the Ubuntu version (ranging from 22.04 to 22.04.3), I face difficulties changing the microphone output settings when an external audio peripheral, such as a USB headset, 3.5mm headphones, or Bluetooth headphones, is connected. The OS appears to exclusively utilize the microphone from the connected peripheral, making it impossible to switch to the laptop's built-in microphone.
