The bug title says that the module is "not found", does that mean that you have actually checked that the module is missing from the module directory? No, the module is still there (I think: see below). What I meant was "Module load failed," sorry. $ ls -l `locate module-switch-on-connect` -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 10312 Apr 4 2014 /usr/lib/pulse-4.0/modules/module-switch-on-connect.so What's the PulseAudio version? The module location suggests 4.0, but if PulseAudio has different version, then that would explain the error. If your PulseAudio version is 4.0, then check the PulseAudio log. Here are instructions for getting the log: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio/Log When module-switch-on-connect is loaded without arguments, the only reason that can make it fail is that PulseAudio either doesn't find the module, or the module is inaccessible or corrupted. That strongly suggests a packaging bug, but let's continue debugging it here anyway... Thanks for your help, Tanu. The version is 4.0 (obtained with pulseaudio --version). When I followed the logging directions, I was unable to reproduce the bug. I ran the pacmd command in another window while the logging was happening, and it was now able to load the module (which works correctly). The logging instructions required killing and restarting pulseaudio, and this seems to be enough to allow the loading to work (it is not necessary to be logging or to set autospawn = no). So, is something going wrong when pulseaudio is starting up upon boot, so that it is not able to load the module either then or when explicitly asked at the command line? Sorry for the slow reply... To get the verbose log during boot (or rather during login, assuming that you're running PulseAudio as a user service as usual), you can put these options to ~/.config/pulse/daemon.conf: log-target = newfile:/home/you/pulse.log log-level = debug That will make PulseAudio log to pulse.log in your home directory, with debug logging. Every time PulseAudio starts, a new file will be created. The first file will have name pulse.log, the second will have name pulse.log.1, then pulse.log.2 etc. -- GitLab Migration Automatic Message -- This bug has been migrated to freedesktop.org's GitLab instance and has been closed from further activity.
