you have to provide pulseaudio log with log time by uncomment log time in deamon.conf Took a bit, but I got it. https://gist.github.com/Yomi0/7c3158577999fd2447cf Anything else?

Is there a command you need to me execute to provide more information? I got this from the alsa-info.sh script... https://gist.github.com/Yomi0/e581ca6d513fd0f532f7 http://git.alsa-project.org/?p=alsa-lib.git;a=blob;f=src/conf/cards/HDA-Intel.conf;hb=HEAD do it help if you remove softvol plugin from front device ? may need reboot and check whether the softvol volume control is really removed -Intel.pcm.front.0 { @args [ CARD ] @args.CARD { type string } type asym playback.pcm { - type softvol - slave.pcm { - type hw - card $CARD - subdevice 0 - } - control { - name "PCM Playback Volume" - card $CARD - } + type hw + card $CARD } capture.pcm { type hw card $CARD } } That seems to work, but then if I open pavucontrol, HDMI won't appear as an audio output. (In reply to Yomi from comment #12) > That seems to work, but then if I open pavucontrol, HDMI won't appear as an > audio output. It also seems to mess around with the volume of outputs. -- GitLab Migration Automatic Message -- This bug has been migrated to freedesktop.org's GitLab instance and has been closed from further activity.
