Googleing a lot, I tried some configuration "by hand" and reach a state
that I cannot understand.

I used:  pacmd list-cards in order to identify my cards:

----------------------------------------------------------->
2 card(s) available.
    index: 0
    name: <alsa_card.pci-0000_01_00.1>
    driver: <module-alsa-card.c>
    owner module: 6
    properties:
    	alsa.card = "1"
    	alsa.card_name = "HDA NVidia"
<snip> /forget it, I don't want to use it/

index: 1
    name: <alsa_card.pci-0000_00_1b.0>
    driver: <module-alsa-card.c>
    owner module: 7
    properties:
    	alsa.card = "0"
    	alsa.card_name = "HDA Intel PCH"
    	alsa.long_card_name = "HDA Intel PCH at 0xf7430000 irq 35"
<snip>

sinks:
    	alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1b.0.iec958-stereo/#0: Audio interne Stéréo

    sources:
    	alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1b.0.iec958-stereo.monitor/#0: Monitor of
Audio interne Stéréo numérique (IEC958)
    	alsa_input.pci-0000_00_1b.0.analog-stereo/#1: Audio interne Stéréo
analogique
<-------------------------------------------------------------

So, the card name is "alsa_card.pci-0000_00_1b.0" or index 1.

I tried:

pacmd set-card-profile alsa_card.pci-0000_00_1b.0 output:analog-stereo

and it worked : the digital audio was replaced by the analogic audio and
sound is working.

I tried to perenise that :

echo 'set-card-profile alsa_card.pci-0000_00_1b.0 output:analog-stereo'
> ~fp/.config/pulse/default.pa

killed pulseaudio: pkill -f pulseaudio and restarted it:  pulseaudio --start

but: E: [pulseaudio] main.c: Échec lors du démarrage du démon.

reason:
mars 19 22:11:31 dipankar pulseaudio[17422]: *No card found by this name
or index*.
mars 19 22:11:31 dipankar pulseaudio[17422]: Échec lors de
l'initialisation du démon

lol!

Same result if I replace the card name by the index 1....

Who can explain?

Thank you.
