post pulseaudio verbose log

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio/Log

are there any error message in pulseaudio verbose log

when the stream tag of analog convertor and digital convertor are same vlaue 8

this imply driver output signal to both analog and digital

the driver should return EBUSY error when pulseaudio open digital device

do you mean that you are using spdif output since all analog output jacks are unplugged ?

but you have turn on IEC958 Default PCM which driver copy audio to both analog and digital
and digital spdif won't work

After a while they re-directed me to the author of a certain patch (mr Takashi Iwai of alsa-project.org

Well, to be honest, I don't know if I have that patch.

I couldn't find in the patch mail message in which kernel it was included.
I only found references to 4.2 and 4.1

I have this kernel:
$ uname -a
Linux poseidon 3.19.0-20-generic #20-Ubuntu SMP Fri May 29 10:10:47 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I decided to update, and see what the result was.
Apparently, sound started working again for all users, except for myself.
That's why I didn't notice it right away, that the sound worked again.
In my user account it didn't work.
And I even had no sound device to choose from in the sound setting dialog box.
After some googling, I decided to try this, and it worked:
$ rm -r ~/.config/pulse/*
And then i copied the pulse config from a user where the sound did work.
Rebooted...
And my sound works again.

Thanks for everything.
