Here is everything I did Install Ubuntu edit /etc/pulse/default.pa to add my hdmi sink ...everything works for awhile... update to the passthrough git branch to get dts-hd passthrough with xbmc my sink is gone and /etc/pulse/default.pa isn't being read copy just that file into ~/.pulse and the sink starts working again I don't even have a daemon.conf in ~/.pulse
