Audio stops when starting pavucontrol - only on CM106-like devices
First, sorry if the description sounds ridiculous. Since a month or more I experience such issue after a soundcard change. Using bluetooth speakers don't expose the problem(s). I'm not sure where to start but I figured that clearing wireplumber's state & restarting it sometimes fixed my problem, then it happens agian after some time.
In short, as soon as I open pavucontrol the audio stops, if I'm playing it on CM106 soundcard (using bluetooth speakers I get no issue). 3 seconds after closing pavucontrol, the audio is back.
When I run pavucontrol, the following events are emitted:
Event 'new' on client #644
Event 'new' on source-output #645
Event 'new' on source-output #646
Event 'new' on source-output #647
Event 'change' on source-output #645
Event 'change' on source-output #646
Event 'change' on source-output #647
Event 'new' on source-output #648
Event 'change' on source-output #645
Event 'change' on source-output #646
Event 'change' on source-output #647
Event 'change' on source-output #646
Event 'change' on source-output #648
Event 'change' on source #65
Event 'change' on card #53
Event 'change' on source-output #645
Event 'change' on source-output #646
Event 'change' on source-output #648
Event 'change' on sink #338
Event 'change' on source #338
Event 'change' on card #51
Event 'change' on source-output #647
Event 'change' on source-output #648
When I close it:
Event 'remove' on source-output #645
Event 'remove' on source-output #646
Event 'remove' on source-output #647
Event 'remove' on source-output #648
Event 'remove' on client #644
Event 'change' on source #65
After some time when the audio is recovered:
Event 'change' on source #65
Event 'change' on sink #338
Event 'change' on source #338
I'm also attaching the dumps "before" starting pavucontrol and "after" (when it's running, and audio is "muted")
Note that I experience other problems since the same date when using discord: I can hear the UI's sounds but not the voice chats, sometimes I can hear it for a fraction of second when the discussion starts.
I'll try to find a software version combination which isn't exposing the issue but I experience this problem for a while and still didn't managed to do so.
