Description Darin Miller 2017-09-23 13:49:27 UTC

Not sure if this is a plasma-pa bug or a pulseaudio bug. In plasma-pa -> Audio Volumue -> Advanced tab.... checking the "Automatically switch all running streams when a new output becomes available" causes PA to crash on startup. 

If the /etc/pulse/default.pa file is modified by commenting out following line:

  load-module module-switch-on-connect

PA will start as expected. Auto switching works great even when the above line in  default.pa line is commented out.

That's an issue in PulseAudio.

Comment 2 Patrick Silva 2017-09-24 13:33:55 UTC

Do you know if there is some upstream bug report about this issue David?

Comment 3 Darin Miller 2017-09-24 14:47:46 UTC

I filed the bug here but received no response:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plasma-pa/+bug/1716092.  I can report elsewhere or re-file if needed.

Launchpad would be downstream, but the bug is upstream in PulseAudio.
