Hello I’m on Manjaro-Sway edition.
I’m experiencing a weird bug. It started occurring recently after a system upgrade.
After a screen lock, audio is gone and my waybar thinks that a headset is connected (aux) even though nothing is connected. The temporary fix is to actually connect a headset and then disconnect it, so that it* switches back the sink?
*it = the predefined manjaro-sway config
When I check pavucontrol → output devices I could not notice anything strange…
I would like to debug this further… How would I go about this? Any recommendations what to check when this happens again?
How would I reset the audio service?
To reset PulseAudio card database in ~/.config/pulse/ change the card Profile(s) to Off in PulseAudio Volume Control > Configuration tab - pavucontrol --tab=5
and then change the Profile(s) back to original setting
To reset PulseAudio configuration and restart pulseaudio.service:
rm -r ~/.config/pulse/ && systemctl --user restart pulseaudio
If the Aux connection continues to show as connected, install alsa-tools
that includes
hdajacksensetest
to check audio jack detection
hdajackretask
to retask or disable jack connections
both tools require root privileges (sudo)

thanks. now that I checked pavucontrol → configuration: yes, the profile seems to be stuck. I’ll check this out further and report how it went.
