Created attachment 72808 [details] pacmd ls Hello, sound was ok on my Fujitsu laptop AH530 with Archlinux (x86_64) until I upgraded pulseaudio (and libpulse) to version 3.0. After upgrading: 1) when pulseaudio starts, the alsa "Speaker" volume is set to zero and I can't hear any sound. If i set again the alsa "Speaker" volume with 'amixer -c0 sset "Speaker" 100%', sound comes back. I explicitly tried to set volume to 100% (hearing sound), restarted pulseaudio ('pulseaudio -k', then pulseaudio restarted automatically), verifying that alsa "Speaker" volume was now set to 0. 2) every time I plug or unplug the headphones, alsa "Speaker" volume is set to 0, so, after unplugging the headphones, I can't hear any sound and I must issue again 'amixer -c0 sset "Speaker" 100%' and (again) I explicitly verified alsa "Speaker" volume before and after using output of "amixer -c0". While headphones are connected, all is working as intended: speakers have volume set to 0 and I can hear sound through the headphones. With previous version all was ok: some other people on archlinux forum facing same issue solved(?) downgrading to pulseaudio 2.1: I didn't do that because I don't want to mess the bug. I don't know exactly which logs, documentation, etc. could be useful: I issued (as root) 'journalctl -b /usr/bin/pulseaudio' but obtained empty output. I attached output of "pacmd ls". I can do some experiments if it's necessary. Sorry for my bad English. Thanks in advance for your valuable time and patience.
I suffer from this too. I have a Toshiba laptop with HDA Intel (Realteck ALC272) chip.
My guess is that this issue has been fixed by this patch: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/pulseaudio/pulseaudio/commit/?id=a703451811f31abe6302f39675c1e1fdfc1925d6 To verify that, could you try changing /usr/share/pulseaudio/alsa-mixer/paths/analog-output-speaker-always.conf accordingly?
The patch worked for me, now Speaker volume is no more to 0 at boot, neither it is when I unplug the headphones jack.
Thank you, I'll close this bug.
(In reply to comment #4) > Thank you, I'll close this bug. Hello Mr. Kaskinen, I tryed your suggestion and now all works perfectly. Thanks. Have a nice day.
Still not solved for me after applying the patch. I have the exact same problem as the OP. I will also attach the output of 'pacmd ls'. The system is a Dell XPS L502X. The soundcard is 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 05) Subsystem: Dell Device 050e

Sorry for the noise. Instead of applying the diff I downloaded analog-output-speaker-always.conf from the git web interface. But I chose the wrong one. All is fine now.
I have issue with "Speaker" volume. It is set to 0 every boot. IIRC it worked fine with PulseAudio 4 but not with PulseAudio 5. Lenovo X220, ArchLinux x86_64.

You have three ports on the sink: analog-output, analog-output-speaker and analog-output-headphones. The active port is analog-output, which sets the "Speaker" volume to zero. I don't know why analog-output got selected, since analog-output-speaker has higher priority, but you can switch the port with this command: pactl set-sink-port alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1b.0.analog-stereo analog-output-speaker If pulseaudio keeps selecting the analog-output port, you're probably suffering from this bug: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=74609
does headphone and dock headphone really support 4.0 ? for four channels hda codecs with three output pin complexes (headphone , dock headphone and speaker) ,one volume controls have to shared by two output pins while the other volume control used by one output pin output:analog-surround-40: Analog Surround 4.0 Output (priority 700, available: unknown) output:analog-surround-40+input:analog-stereo: Analog Surround 4.0 Output + Analog Stereo Input (priority 760, available: unknown) off: Off (priority 0, available: unknown) active profile: <output:analog-stereo+input:analog-stereo> sinks: alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1b.0.analog-stereo/#0: Built-in Audio Analog Stereo sources: alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1b.0.analog-stereo.monitor/#0: Monitor of Built-in Audio Analog Stereo alsa_input.pci-0000_00_1b.0.analog-stereo/#1: Built-in Audio Analog Stereo ports: analog-input-internal-mic: Internal Microphone (priority 8900, latency offset 0 usec, available: unknown) properties: device.icon_name = "audio-input-microphone" analog-input-dock-mic: Dock Microphone (priority 7800, latency offset 0 usec, available: no) properties: device.icon_name = "audio-input-microphone" analog-input-mic: Microphone (priority 8700, latency offset 0 usec, available: no) properties: device.icon_name = "audio-input-microphone" analog-output: Analog Output (priority 9900, latency offset 0 usec, available: unknown) properties: analog-output-speaker: Speakers (priority 10000, latency offset 0 usec, available: unknown) properties: device.icon_name = "audio-speakers" analog-output-headphones: Headphones (priority 9000, latency offset 0 usec, available: no) properties: device.icon_name = "audio-headphones"
(In reply to comment #11) It is fixed for me after provided command. Thanks a lot!
