Sound stopped working after using HDMI












7















So a couple of days ago, I had my laptop hooked up to my tv via HDMI. I used pavucontrol to disable sound on my laptop and play it through the tv. I changed it back when I was done. Can't remember if I used it right away. Last night I tried to use it and it didn't work. I opened pavucontrol again and switched to the configuration tab where there had previously been a drop down menu allowing me to choose what device to output my sound through. Now there's nothing. It says no card available for configuration. When I open asoundconf-gtk it only has "PCH" and selecting that does nothing either.



Here is my output of pulseaudio -d http://pastebin.com/75SpLihg



And using the guide on the Ubuntu Wiki Pulse Audio page, I made a log http://pastebin.com/rmARXUMD



I've tried deleting the pulse folder from my home directory and restarting the server. After searching on Google, I found similar problems required me to edit /etc/pulse/client.conf and make sure autospawn is set to yes and everything is commented out with a semicolon, which it is. Tried using qasmixer to make sure sound isn't disabled. Nothing works.
.
I've tried posting on the Ubuntu-Forums.org site and got no help there so I'm trying here because I dont want to reboot into Win7 to stream videos or listen to my mp3s.



Since I don't have reputation for more links, I'll post in the comments for my client and daemon conf files.



Running Lubuntu 12.10 with kernel 3.5.0-24-generic. I hope this is enough info.



Edit: July 29th/13: I decided to create a new user account and everything shows up as normal in pavucontrol. I am able to see the sound card and adjust settings although I didn't actually test the sound. So this appears to be a user configuration error (although if I run gksudo pavucontrol, I still cant access the sound card). I've deleted ~/.pulse as well as the pulse in ~/.config. Still nothing. Not sure what else to delete.

Well, this worked for me and it is really easy :




  1. Open PulseAudio Volume Control (open a terminal and type pavucontrol).
    Install it if you don't have it.

  2. When you open it, go to "Configuration" : For one of the "built in audios" one has HDMI (unplugged) in front of "Profile". Choose "Off" for that profile.

      Just to add to this answer, my solution (Yes, I had this problem on Ubuntu 15.04) was to delete ~/.config/pulse (actually I renamed it, just in case) and then start pulseaudio again using pulseaudio -D.

    For Ubuntu 18.04:



    sudo apt-get install pavucontrol



    Start playing music or whatever you want. (You still hear nothing)



    pavucontrol
    Go at: playback
    You will see there that the playback for the app is set to HDMI. Redirect it.



    This implies that each app might need to be manually changed :-/



    Other solution, replug HDMI and choose the correct output device.



    UBUNTU you need to fix this!

              • That was my last idea. I was just hoping there would be something else. I did that and restarted pulseaudio but it didn't work. The only other idea I have is to just reboot.

              • Try changing the /etc/pulse/client.conf to: default-sink = alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1b.0.analog-stereo

              For Ubuntu 18.04:



              sudo apt-get install pavucontrol



              Start playing music or whatever you want. (You still hear nothing)



              pavucontrol
              Go at: playback
              You will see there that the playback for the app is set to HDMI. Redirect it.



              This implies that each app might need to be manually changed :-/



              Other solution, replug HDMI and choose the correct output device.



              UBUNTU you need to fix this!
