ALSA on my laptop supports the default analog output port, and also sound via HDMI. If pulse starts when there is no HDMI device attached, it uses just the analog output. If I then plug something in to HDMI it doesn't notice this at all, refusing to use it. ALSA directly can work fine with it though (e.g. mplayer -ao alsa:device=hw=0.3). If now I restart pulse, it notices the HDMI port but fails additionally to still have the analog port. It's not until I remove the HDMI device entirely and restart pulse a second time that it stops using the HDMI now and will work on the analog again. Any way I can fix these two things? 1) Have HDMI detected present/absent without restarting pulse 2) Have both HDMI and analog outputs available -- Paul "LeoNerd" Evans leonerd at leonerd.org.uk ICQ# 4135350 | Registered Linux# 179460 http://www.leonerd.org.uk/ -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
