I have the same issue. On 20.04, pulse audio creates of the HDMI/DP device on wake after sleep, and starts using it even though I previously configured the earlier copy of itself to "Off" using pavucontrol.
This is particularly annoying because it the device is built into my monitor, is crappy, and there is no way to physically turn off the device. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1888598 Title: Pulseaudio breaks HDMI audio on sleep/wake To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/1888598/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
