Hello, I have 2 alsa devices in my system, card 0 is my Nvidia graphics card for HDMI Audio output, card 1 is my internal onboard audio. I prefer the HDMI Audio via my Nvidia card and setting this as default device works just fine. When I now add another audio device like via USB or Bluetooth, its sink becomes default, and this is quite what I want, so this is fine. But when I now disconnect this device again, the new default sink always is my internal audio instead of the HDMI audio. How can I get the system to fall back to my HDMI Audio after the active sink gets unavailable? Can I set priorities manually in default.pa or similar? The modules module-default-device-restore, module-device-restore, module-stream-restore and module-card-restore are loaded. If one of these is supposed to do this job, does that need some manual configuration? If yes, how? I'm running Ubuntu 19.10 64-bit. I already deleted ~.config/pulse and restarted pulseaudio to make sure there are no unwanted settings in my pulse db files. The file .config/pulse/[id]-default-sink correctly contains the HDMI sink in the format of the output below. $ pactl info Server String: /run/user/1000/pulse/native Library Protocol Version: 33 Server Protocol Version: 33 Is Local: yes Client Index: 8 Tile Size: 65472 User Name: daniel Host Name: windseeker Server Name: pulseaudio Server Version: 13.0 Default Sample Specification: s16le 2ch 44100Hz Default Channel Map: front-left,front-right Default Sink: alsa_output.pci-0000_01_00.1.hdmi-stereo Default Source: alsa_output.pci-0000_01_00.1.hdmi-stereo.monitor Cookie: b87b:c3cd $ pactl list sinks short 1 alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1b.0.analog-stereo module-alsa-card.c s16le 2ch 44100Hz IDLE 4 alsa_output.pci-0000_01_00.1.hdmi-stereo module-alsa-card.c s16le 2ch 44100Hz IDLE Thank you and best regards, Daniel _______________________________________________ pulseaudio-discuss mailing list pulseaudio-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/pulseaudio-discuss
