Public bug reported: Ubuntu 20.10 (PopOS on a custom Skylake generation server, not System76)
Problem started occurring after upgrade from Ubuntu 20.04 to Ubuntu 20.10 PopOS. System never experienced this problem before that upgrade and it's a 5 year old server. Pulseaudio does not recognize speakers attached to green line-out port of built-in analog card. This is temporarily corrected by restarting pulseaudio service. However, upon next reboot the problem reoccurs. Thus, requiring a pulseaudio restart after every reboot. To reproduce problem: 1. Speakers plugged in (through green line-out port of built-in card) and speakers are powered on 2. Restart Linux (either after hard power off, or reset, or soft reboot, doesn't matter. BIOS changes do nothing.) 3. System comes up, and pulseaudio dashboard shows no built-in analog stereo under "Output Devices" 4. Restart pulseaudio: systemctl --user restart pulseaudio.service 5. Pulseaudio dashboard now shows built-in analog stereo under "Output Devices" CONFIGURATION INFORMATION: cat /etc/issue Pop!_OS 20.10 uname -a Linux walkubu 5.8.0-7630-generic #32~1609193707~20.10~781bb80-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jan 5 21:29:56 UTC 2 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux arecord -L null Discard all samples (playback) or generate zero samples (capture) default Playback/recording through the PulseAudio sound server samplerate Rate Converter Plugin Using Samplerate Library speexrate Rate Converter Plugin Using Speex Resampler jack JACK Audio Connection Kit oss Open Sound System pulse PulseAudio Sound Server upmix Plugin for channel upmix (4,6,8) vdownmix Plugin for channel downmix (stereo) with a simple spacialization hw:CARD=PCH,DEV=0 HDA Intel PCH, ALC1150 Analog Direct hardware device without any conversions hw:CARD=PCH,DEV=2 HDA Intel PCH, ALC1150 Alt Analog Direct hardware device without any conversions plughw:CARD=PCH,DEV=0 HDA Intel PCH, ALC1150 Analog Hardware device with all software conversions plughw:CARD=PCH,DEV=2 HDA Intel PCH, ALC1150 Alt Analog Hardware device with all software conversions sysdefault:CARD=PCH HDA Intel PCH, ALC1150 Analog Default Audio Device front:CARD=PCH,DEV=0 HDA Intel PCH, ALC1150 Analog Front output / input dsnoop:CARD=PCH,DEV=0 HDA Intel PCH, ALC1150 Analog Direct sample snooping device dsnoop:CARD=PCH,DEV=2 HDA Intel PCH, ALC1150 Alt Analog Direct sample snooping device usbstream:CARD=PCH HDA Intel PCH USB Stream Output hw:CARD=C525,DEV=0 HD Webcam C525, USB Audio Direct hardware device without any conversions plughw:CARD=C525,DEV=0 HD Webcam C525, USB Audio Hardware device with all software conversions sysdefault:CARD=C525 HD Webcam C525, USB Audio Default Audio Device front:CARD=C525,DEV=0 HD Webcam C525, USB Audio Front output / input dsnoop:CARD=C525,DEV=0 HD Webcam C525, USB Audio Direct sample snooping device usbstream:CARD=C525 HD Webcam C525 USB Stream Output usbstream:CARD=NVidia HDA NVidia USB Stream Output ** Affects: systemd (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1913632 Title: Ubuntu 20.10 Pulseaudio won't recognize audio line-out until pulseaudio restarted To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1913632/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
