pulse log as per https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio/Log

on ubuntu 16.04 i don't get sound at system startup. I have weird workaround using speaker test. sequence of events is:

1) system start up - no sound
  1.1) same result if i open a new application
2) run speakertest -c 6 -D pulse in a terminal --> i get sound
3) play mp3 with VLC(or any other application) --> i get sound
4) click on next track --> no sound for next track
5) run speakertest -c 6 -D pulse --> no sound. keep it running in terminal
6) pause playback in vlc
7) speakertest form (5) starts working after pause in (6)
8) play in VLC --> sould from speakertest (7) and (8) plays
9) ctrl-c in terminal running speakertest (7). VLC audio keeps working

VLC/Spotify/kodi/etc will work as far as i don't press "next track". to start any application i need to run this sequence of events. maybe there is somethign simplre that i haven't found.

do your vsx-519 only support 5.1 ?
