#18

That didn't work either. In the "/etc/pulse/default.pa" file, that section:

### Use hot-plugged devices like Bluetooth or USB automatically (LP: #1702794)
.ifexists module-switch-on-connect.so
load-module module-switch-on-connect
.endif

actually doesn't exist in Kali, and Kali 2020, as well as Lubuntu,
Xubuntu, Peppermint, etc all do it. Like, even Kali does it. And yet,
CentOS, Stella, Manjaro, Arch, BlackArch, etc, don't. It's definitely
specific to distros that are based on Ubuntu/Debian, and it's
definitely somehow connected to a change that was made in the 19.04
update, because none of the 18.04 versions do this. Nevertheless, I
commented that section out and then rebooted, but it didn't work.

Also, I ran the "apport-collect 1866681" command as stated in the
subsequent email, and so that report should be available in the
Launchpad logs.

I don't know what to do. This issue has been plaguing me for upwards
of about a year or so. I'm lost.

I know that it's not the fault of XFCE, because I also use the latest version of Manjaro with XFCE on this same computer, and it works fine. I also know it's not any Red Hat-based distro, because I use Stella (which is a remix of CentOS 6) also on this exact same computer, and it also works fine. Qubes, Mageia, and Fedora 31 also work perfectly fine and don't have this issue.
