Bonjour,
When I log-in, sound is deactivated and I have to manually start it, doing:
1- killall -9 pulseaudio
2- start-pulseaudio-x11
3- open mixer go to "configation" tab and choose analogic stero duplex.
What is wrong in my sound config and how to correct this.
Thank you.

Are you sure sound is deactivated? Is it possible it is trying to use the digital output associated with your video card? It is usually found first because video comes up before sound, and thus gets the coveted position 0 that is the sound default.
1- killall -9 pulseaudio
2- start-pulseaudio-x11
3- open mixer go to "configation" tab and choose analogic stero duplex.

After 3, when sound is working, open pavucontrol, go to the output devices tab, and click the green checkmark on the device that you want pulseaudio to start with.

This part is solved after a system update done yesterday.

That is what I do evetime I lo-in but this does not survive to a log-out....

That should take effect immediately, and pulse should store it immediately. Something is wrong in the configuration of your system. Is there anything in the logs about pulse or alsa failures after you set your system up the way you want? How about problems during discovery at boot in recognizing the sound devices?

journactl -u pulseaudio (or alsa*) returns nothing

journactl -u pulseaudio (or alsa*) returns nothing
pulseaudio is not a systemd unit. It is started by the desktop based on /etc/xdg/autostart/pulseaudio.desktop.
So, you can use something like....
journalctl -b -0 | grep pulseaudio

It sounds like you need a stronger approach. Can you go here https://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Help_To_Debug and download the alsainfo.sh script and run it. Put the output in a file when it asks you. Then use fpaste (a fedora package) to put the file in the fedora project pastebin. That will give you a link that you can post here so it is possible to examine your setup in more detail.

From that output, you should have sound. Your system put the PCM (analog) card in the 0 slot, and that is the default location for sound to be routed to pulseaudio. Do you by chance have a configuration file for sound in /etc/modprobe.d that assigns a default device other than 0?
You could also do a man pulse-client.conf and check the locations at the top of that to see if you have a pulse configuration file that is overriding your settings via the gui. Especially in your home directory.
Also in ~/.config/pulse there should be a file with []-default-source. Look at that to be sure that it is pointing to device 0, and analog.
It doesn't make sense that you don't have sound. I can offer no more help, perhaps you should post on the alsa-user mailing list, with the link you showed here, to see if anyone there has an answer.

Nothing in /etc/modprobe.d
But in /usr/lib/modprobe.d/ I have a dist-alsa.conf file with:
# ALSA Sound Support # # We want to ensure that snd-seq is always loaded for those who want to use # the sequencer interface, but we can't do this automatically through udev # at the moment...so we have this rule (just for the moment). # # Remove the following line if you don't want the sequencer.

In ~/.config/pulse I have: bd9a117e29a44dd4b335896e866a41d2-default-sink bd9a117e29a44dd4b335896e866a41d2-default-source
Which are empty when I log-in (in that case the config is: "sortie stéréo numérique (iec958) + entrée stéréo analogique" which does not work, no sound)
If I change, in the config tab, to duplex stéréo analogique (which works) and going to the "output peripheric" tab and press the button "define as alternative" these two files in ~/.config/pulse, have alsa_input.pci-0000_00_1b.0.analog-stereo inside, but these files are erased at next login/boot.
It doesn't make sense that you don't have sound.
What could erase the files source/sink in my ~/.config/pulse and why does the fedora default config does not follow the man pulse-client.conf for, according to this manual, there should be a ~/.config/pulse/client.conf file or ~/.config/pulse/client.conf.d/*.conf files...

I also have that and sound works fine here. So, I would say not a problem.
In ~/.config/pulse I have: bd9a117e29a44dd4b335896e866a41d2-default-sink bd9a117e29a44dd4b335896e866a41d2-default-source

You must have run alsainfo.sh after you corrected your system because this is not what it showed. It showed that the default was pcm (analog). For some reason, at start up, your system is defaulting to the iec958 (digital) interface on your nvidia card at startup. What happens if immediately after startup you run? aplay -D plughw:0,0 [some wav file here] It has to be a wav file as there is no decoding in aplay. You should get sound without making any changes to configuration.
If I change, in the config tab, to duplex stéréo analogique (which works) and going to the "output peripheric" tab and press the button "define as alternative" these two files in ~/.config/pulse, have alsa_input.pci-0000_00_1b.0.analog-stereo inside, but these files are erased at next login/boot.
This is correct, but the erasure, I don't know where that is coming from.

I suspect, because of the signature at the front, that those files are recreated by pulse at each start. I think *you* have to create the configuration files in your ~/.config/pulse directory.
Try this: cp the /etc/pulse/client.conf file to ~/.config/pulse. Edit the home directory file and change the line ; default-sink = to default-sink = hw:0,0
That should do the right thing at next boot.
If it doesn't work, run pulseaudio --dump-conf Then paste the output and the contents of /etc/pulse/default.pa somewhere and show the link here. That tells the settings that pulse defaults to and how it is actually running. Do the run after boot and before you make any changes.

That's good information.

Yes, that works
So, it's only a configuration issue. The hardware is being recognized and initialized correctly, but not set to analog as default.
I suspect, because of the signature at the front, that those files are recreated by pulse at each start. I think *you* have to create the configuration files in your ~/.config/pulse directory.
Try this: cp the /etc/pulse/client.conf file to ~/.config/pulse. Edit the home directory file and change the line ; default-sink = to default-sink = hw:0,0
This does not work.
It was a guess, using alsa conventions. I couldn't find any pulse examples that set the sink so I could see what convention they use. You could try variations on this, like hw:0, or device = hw:0, etc. It might be a name though, I'm not sure.
That should do the right thing at next boot.
If it doesn't work, run pulseaudio --dump-conf

Both of these look fine.
Is there somewhere a comprhensive list of configuration files for alsa and pulseaudio?
I am not aware of such a list, though it might exist.
I think the configuration file for alsa is /etc/asound.conf
For pulse, the files is man pulse-client.conf and man pulse-daemon.conf would be the configuration files.
As far as I can tell, there is no reason for the behavior you are experiencing from the information you have provided. I wonder if it has to do with the fact that the realtek ALC892 is part of a video card, and thus is automatically hard coded to digital output by the video driver. I would think there would be lots of complaints if that was happening, because it wouldn't be only you affected.
Do you have another sound card you can try? If not, there are cheap stereo USB sound devices that sell for around a dollar on ebay. The sound of these is surprisingly good. If everything works correctly when using a dedicated sound device, then it probably has something to do with being part of a video device.
I'm tapped out. You could try opening a bugzilla ticket against pulseaudio to see if anyone there has an idea.

FWIW, I have a ~/.pulse directory. Within it there is a file called 741a5ee204e44a41982409c7e07d04de-default-sink which contains
[egreshko@meimei .pulse]$ cat 741a5ee204e44a41982409c7e07d04de-default-sink alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1b.0.analog-stereo
If one is having problem setting per-user defaults then could it be possible that the permissions/ownership of the ~/.pulse directory or its contents are incorrect?

If it is of any interest, my F27 system is an upgrade from F26 that was a fresh install and it doesn't have a ~/.pulse directory either, it has the ~/.config/pulse directory, which like on Ed's machine, has a default-sink file.
With my Logitech G33 wireless headphones, pulseaudio gives me the option of digital or analogue sound output, and I've found that compared to the analog sound output the digital output is hopeless. With digital output I have to turn the volume output in pulseaudio up to 150% to be able to properly hear the audio, but that introduces "static" artifacts into the audio, the onscreen volume level display when using the volume control on the headphones doesn't match the headphones, in that it reaches 100% before the headphones volume control and increasing the volume on the headphones has no impact on the output volume level. With analog output these processes all work "properly" and are comparable with the same functions under windows.

Steve

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.

Not sure whether the following will help, but it might be worth a try:
If you have installed pavucontrol, maybe it: -------> pavucontrol <------
And while you do the following, play some sound file, to see what's happening:
Please note that some "Profile" might be seen as active in the "Configuration" tab and not be working because you switched off (e.g.) the device (TV, Stereo) connected to it. Also have a look at the "Playback" tab. Make sure (bottom page) to show "All Streams". Does the volume meter change while you play sound? If it changes, and you don't hear anything, try changing the playback device with the clickable right-hand-side button (with something like "Built-in <device>" on it) and change it to another device, if possible. If you hear sound by now maybe try to switch off the device that did not work while playing the audio (and after logging in? .. )
Also, maybe see these:
----> gnome-control-center --> Sound <----
---> paprefs <----
Also try reloading your X after changes, if things don't work as expected (might not work on wayland). IIRC on gnome running on X11 reload works with <alt><F2>, then exec "r". But I'm not sure, I don't run gnome shell, just gnome apps ... :)
In awesome wm (hint, hint ... :) reload goes like <ctrl>-<Mod4>-r ...
HTH - Good luck!

^^^^^^^^^ should say:
"If you want me understand what you write pls. try translating it to English ... "
My French is lousy. At best ... ;)
Plus: in my last posting I forgot to mention my hints were done on F26.
