[arch-general] Sound card marked as unavailable in pulseaudio

[Andy Pieters]

Hi

Does anyone know why my sound card may be listed as unavailable?

I got a built-in Intel sound device which is seen by pulseaudio.

In the volume control settings (pavucontrol-qt) I can select the
configuration Analog Stereo Duplex (unplugged) (unavailable)

I don't know why it shows as unplugged and unavailable.

This is not a new situation but I remember a few years ago I could use this
internal sound card just fine.

Thanks

Andy
