Re: [Thinstation-general] pulseaudio prefers my hdmi sink for audio output

Nice. Could you add that to the wiki?

and I prefer my onboard stereo.

During a session, I used pavucontrol to set the default/fallback sink and it worked for a while but pulseaudio would find an opportunity to switch it back to my hdmi sink.

Someone else had a somewhat similar issue a few years ago and I tried the command suggested.

I set up a package containing:

file: dependencies
pulseaudio

file: build/finalize
echo "/bin/pacmd set-default-sink alsa_output.pci-yours will differ.analog-stereo >> /home/tsuser/log1 2>&1" >> /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/pulseaudio
echo "/bin/pacmd list-sinks >> /home/tsuser/log1" >> /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/pulseaudio
echo "/bin/pacmd unload-module module-switch-on-port-available >> /home/tsuser/log1" >> /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/pulseaudio
echo "/bin/pacmd list-modules >> /home/tsuser/log1" >> /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/pulseaudio

The second and fourth echos are for the paranoid.

The first echo has the command to set the default/fallback sink.  The third echo has the command to unload a pulseaudio module.  This is the command that was suggested.  Whoever suggested it knows more than me about pulseaudio.

I looked at the pulseaudio package and found the pulseaudio startup command in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/pulseaudio and so added to it.

I used the pacmd list-sinks to find out the name of my sink.  Look for the lines like name: <some name in here>

So far it has worked.
