Hi. I’ve been having a weird problem with sound and can’t figure out what causes it and how I can solve it. I have a soundbar connected via optical cable and sometimes there is no sound coming out until I switch to another output and back to this in the settings. The bar below the drop down menu in the sound tab in settings still shows that there should be something coming out, but there is nothing coming out of the sound bar. Can it be a problem with the soundbar and not my OS?
This is mu inxi output

Does this also happen on the LTS kernels? (Install both 5.10 and 5.4 and feed back, please?)
For the future, please always post an inxi --admin --verbosity=7 --filter --no-host --width
as that would be the minimum required information we need to help you… (Personally Identifiable Information like serial numbers and MAC addresses will be filtered out by the above command)
Apologies for the inxi output, here is the expanded information:

I’ve had the same problem on 5.10 as well, I will check with 5.4 and let you know. It’s random and sporadic, some days I get it all the time and some days I don’t get it at all.
