Description of problem: If I start the laptop (log-in) when docked with external display, I have no sound. The reason is that pulseaudio forces HDMI profile and unconditionally directs sounds to HDMI despite the fact that the display has no audio capability. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): pulseaudio-4.0-9.gitf81e3.fc20.x86_64 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. connect a screen that has no audio output to a hdmi/display port on your laptop (LG Flatron W2220P in my case) 2. (re)boot 3. try to play some sound in your favourite application Actual results: silence Expected results: the sound plays through laptop's internal speakers as usual Additional info: note that a similar bug #1048461 already exists ... filing a new one though, the key point here is that the connected device has no audio capability (so it should be completely omitted) which is different from bug #1048461
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 It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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.
