Sound controls stop working if I switch to another output device and switch back. I cannot mute or increase/decrease volume anymore. It’s fixed if I open pavucontrol, go to configuration tab and change the profile to something else (or even select that very profile again i.e. Analog Stereo Duplex). I think this might be due to a missing config file or something. Please help out.
