additional behaviour I've noticed: on first boot, when the sound device isn't in use for a while, it stops sending bitstream data to the receiver, until there's a new audio event. it seems to be some sort of device sleep mode.
on 20.04, after resuming from sleep, this device sleep mode wouldn't activate again. on 20.10, it activates after sleep, but if it does, about half the time it breaks the sound output and i have `pulseaudio -k` to get things back to a usable state. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to pulseaudio in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1888598 Title: pulseaudio breaks hdmi audio on sleep/wake in ubuntu 20.10 Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: on a fresh Ubuntu 20.04 x64 install, I've noticed some troubling bugs with pulseaudio after putting my system to sleep and then waking it up. these bugs aren't present on a fresh boot, only after resuming from sleep: - it forgets which sound output device it's set to, and always reverse to the motherboard's S/PDIF output. - I have two devices connected to my video card, one is a displayport monitor, and one is a home theater receiver via HDMI. it confuses the two, and randomly switches which device it thinks is capable of surround sound. - it sometimes refuses to switch to the correct audio device, and just resets any choice back to the internal S/PDIF, until the system is rebooted. as you can imagine, this a pretty frustrating state of affairs.
