Audio is not working

[t0ssox]

Hi. My audio devices are not detected by default properly. The system does not save my audio settings and changes them every time I restart my computer. On every login I have only HDMI playback output available by default. My device tab in plasma audio volume settings shows only just this HDMI device which is not nice because I don't even use this output and I disabled profile for this on previous boot. In advanced tab I have Built-in Audio which are disabled by default. In the profile section for that audio card I can only select Analog Stereo Input and Analog Stereo Output. Problem is I don't have duplex profile which should be available and enabled by default. Because of that I can't use output and input in the same time which is stupid.

So problems are:
- The system does not save my audio settings for next boot.
- Built-in Audio card is disabled by default and doesn't provide duplex profile (sink - Input and Output at the same time).

How I fixed that in half:
Open terminal and type pacmd. Then type set-card-profile 1 output:analog-stereo+input:analog-stereo (adapt that command for you configuration if its not working) then type exit.
On the next boot restarting pulseaudio with pulseaudio -k helping me to get back my settings.

I still can't find permanent solution.
I found similar solution here https://askubuntu.com/questions/1288...reo-duplex-pro (my source to fix that) and making that default.pa causing pulseaudio crash

E: [pulseaudio] main.c: No card found by this name or index.
E: [pulseaudio] main.c: Failed to initialize daemon due to errors while executing startup commands. Source of commands: /home/antoni/.config/pulse//default.pa

I'm using a ACL887 audio.

Similar to you, but I have alc892 audio. I does not work in Kubuntu Gorilla but works fine in Kubuntu20.04.
Somehow pulseaudio is disabled. Running the following in the console will enable it.

systemctl --user restart pulseaudio

Unfortunately this is not carried across after reboot and you'll have to run it each time you start the system until it gets sorted.

Reporting this as a bug might encourage a dev to look over the problem. I've already put up a report.
Run the following to automatically produce a bug report:

ubuntu-bug -s audio

maybe this is a kubuntu rather than a ubuntu problem? I might try downloading and installing Ubuntu Gorilla and see iif I get the same problem.

This is a problem with the installation media. It has been announced that it will not be fixed.
