Description of problem: Pulseaudio turns off analogue sound outline, after connection to a HDMI device. I've got one sound card in the computer. But ALSA finds tow devices on this card. Analog and HDMI. As long as there is no HDMI-TV/beamer connected, the analogue sound outline works great. After connecting a HDMI-beamer the sound outline on the HDMI-beamer works perfect, but the analogue sound outline stoops working. I don't know how to reactivate the analogue sound outline again. The analoge device isn't mute, it's deactivated. Disconnecting the beamer AND logout/relogin, reactivates the analogue sound outline. The problem seams to arise from the PulseAudio profiles. If I comment all HDMI-sections in all the profiles in /usr/share/pulseaudio/alsa-mixer/profile-sets/, I get analogue sound outline only working. Independent from HDMI-beamer. This fixes my problem, because I need the analogue sound output all the time. But this is only a temporary fix. Nice would be, sound output (parallel) on analogue sound outline and HDMI at the same time.

Expected results: Parallel sound-output on HDMI AND analogue sound outline. Additional info: - In Fedora 18 there was no HDMI-sound support at all. The analogue sound outline didn't stop working. - In Fedora 20: If I comment all HDMI-sections in all the profiles in /usr/share/pulseaudio/alsa-mixer/profile-sets/, I get analogue sound outline only working. Independent from HDMI-port.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 20. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '20'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 20 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 20 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-06-23. Fedora 20 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
