Description Aleksey Kontsevich 2017-10-16 20:42:58 UTC 
Sound disappears on logout/relogin. Problem is in pulseaudio process which remains from previous login session. Killing it solves the problem - new instance start automatically then and sound plays again.

Then that's not a plasmashell problem.

Whether SDDM should clear up stray processes, is up for debate (on the SDDM tracker), but there's some complexities there.

Please discuss this with SDDM developers directly here: https://github.com/sddm/sddm/issues/914#issuecomment-359153535 - they said it is a plasmashell problem:

>This doesn't happen with Liri for example, there the session manager launches 
>autostart programs (including /etc/xdg/autostart/pulseaudio.desktop) and 
>SIGTERM and SIGKILL if needed are sent to the process upon logout.

>@davidedmundson Plasma should just keep track of the processes it starts and 
>kills them on logout. Is it possible?
