Found a workaround after studying many posts. Here the steps I followed: 1: I am only using front speakers for sound. No 5.1 or such speaker system present. Thus I am using the green jack on the side only for headphones. I used hda-jack-retask to override pin0x14 to be headphone only. (restart) 2: After reading up on alsa-mixer in pulseaudio I changed analog-output-speaker.conf in /usr/share/pulseaudio/alsa-mixer/paths in the following way:
[Element Hardware Master] ;switch = mute switch = ignore ;volume = merge volume = ignore ;override-map.1 = all ;override-map.2 = all-left,all-right [Element Desktop Speaker] ;switch = off switch = mute ;volume = off volume = merge after restart (system or with killall pulseaudio;alsa force-reload) I have sound because probably hardware master (pulseaudio and default) are no longer coupled with headphone and speaker controls. I still have to test a little if everything works as supposed but for now I have sound without having to kill or suspend pulseaudio. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1094886 Title: Sound returns after killing pulseaudio To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/1094886/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
