Dear all,
Sorry if this may be off topic for TDE. I have a NVIDIA GT 1030 video card. I installed the proprietary driver version 535.146.02. The audio works fine from a fresh boot. However, if I recover from either suspend or hibernate pulseaudio stops working. The TDE sounds still work and mplayer can also play sound. However, firefox and vlc cannot. If I start vlc with a simple movie with sound, it says:
Audio output failed: The audio device "default" could not be used: Connection refused.
I did not have this problem with the opensource nouveau driver. Is there a way to restart pulseaudio? I tried with
pulseaudio --kill pulseaudio --start
But that didn't make a difference. It seems that alsasound works but not pulseaudio. Any ideas how to troubleshoot this would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Gianluca
PS: Also when I click on kmix there are now three choices: "Pulseaudio", "HDA Intel" and "HDA NVidia". Before installing the driver there were only the first two.

You may find relief in the actual nvidia configuration application, where you can likely disable any nvidia audio.

This is strange. After rebooting I no longer observe the problem with pulseaudio. I tried different combinations of suspend and hibernate and I still cannot reproduce the problem.
At some point before rebooting I entered (as user):
systemctl restart sound.target
Maybe that did the trick? vlc is a bit choppy when I start it the first time (after suspend or hibernate), but the second time it seems fine.
What is the "nvidia configuration application"? Is it `nvidia-settings`? I have never run it. But I will if the problem returns.
Also, where can you normally enter a command that needs to be executed when resuming from suspend or hibernate?
Thanks!

I also read that the problem is that after suspend sometimes the sound is sent to the HDMI. I found a couple of suggestions:

In the last thread: "As a workaround please disable that feature by editing /etc/pulse/default.pa and commenting or removing load-module module-switch-on-port-available and reboot the system."
