New issue (it was late when I updated so didn’t notice): my (unusual?) PulseAudio setup is now broken. I send audio through the Asus MB Intel audio & HDMI to a receiver, but video via NVIDIA & DP. The NVIDIA HDMI audio is normally switched off.
After the update/reboot pactl list cards no longer shows the Intel device, but it still appears in aplay -l, cat /proc/asound/cards and lpsci -v|grep Audio. I can play files using aplay. I’ve tried a cold boot, but the card is ignored by pulse.
Is there some way to get pulse to re-scan for cards? The Arch wiki doesn’t have much to say about this exactly & every question I’ve seen so far involves either someone installing some other device or laptops that required some kernel voodoo. Unfortunately(?) this setup has been stable for quite a few years so I’m a little vague about how it was setup, but there’s nothing exotic I can see in the pulse config files and resetting to default doesn’t help.
Edit: I’ve managed to force Pulse to use the device with a load-module module-alsa-sink device= line, but it still doesn’t appear as a card.
