Logout/Login kills audio

Description

Steps to Re-create:

  1. Boot machine, see that audio works without issue
  2. Click the User Indicator applet on and select Logout (or go to raven menu and select logout)
  3. Log back in

Expected: Sound should still be working after logging back in

Actual: When I log back in I have no sound. If I click the raven menu, I see no devices under input or output. Same thing if I go to settings | sound, nothing at all shows under output or input.

killing and restarting pulseaudio makes no difference, only way to get sound back is to restart the machine

This is a dell xps 13 9360 laptop running solus budgie (with all updates). This is a clean installation as of yesterday. I can re-create this 100% of the time, and this is without headphones or anything plugged in

It almost seems like this is some kind of race condition. I'm finding that if I logout, wait 30 seconds and log back in the audio is fine.

But If I logout and immediately log back in there is no audio outputs available

I can confirm that. This is pretty important to have fixed before Solus 4. I have also had a similar issue - perhaps not related to this one - that once in a while my audio output indicates a dummy output without actually producing any sound. As the latter happens very infrequently, I have no option to track it and didn't raise a separate issue for it.

I have something similar happening. Also a fresh install on a Dell Laptop! I have a Vostro 3568. I have mostly noticed it when switching between Budgie and I3, but that may well be from my logging out and then in again. I'll try to reproduce it and report how it goes.

Edit: I forgot to say that I have the exact same symptoms as mentioned in the original post. i.e. sound indicator greyed out, trying to restart PulseAudio has no effect. The only thing I have found so far that reliably fixes the issue is suspending the computer for a minute and then logging back in.

After some testing my issue also seems to be related to logging out and then back in quickly. If I wait a minute before logging back in then the audio works as expected.

Many are affected by this i hope this will be moved to a top prority fix

loopback added a subscriber: loopback.Jan 15 2018, 4:23 AM

Am also affected by this, Using a usb soundcard. Logout/login will kill pulse and when attempting to run 'pulseaudio --start' yields '[pulseaudio] main.c: Daemon startup failed.' Reboot fixes it.

I found killing the pulseaudio process will fix the issue temporarily. The same thing happens on my system when it goes into suspend or hibernate.

How about waiting for pulseaudio 12.x to be in the repo and check again ?
