So the question is,
How can I set the default source?
How can I list the current default source?
Details
I have 4 sound input sources on my linux device. Here is the result of pactl list sources:
1 alsa_input.pci-0000_00_1b.0.analog-stereo module-alsa-card.c s16le 2ch 44100Hz SUSPENDED
2 alsa_input.usb-Generic_Rmoncam_HD_720P_200901010001-02.analog-stereo module-alsa-card.c s16le 2ch 48000Hz SUSPENDED
3 alsa_input.usb-Generic_Rmoncam_HD_720P_200901010001-02.analog-stereo.2 module-alsa-card.c s16le 2ch 48000Hz SUSPENDED
5 alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1b.0.hdmi-stereo.monitor module-alsa-card.c s16le 2ch 44100Hz SUSPENDED
I tried to set the source 1 alsa_input.pci-0000_00_1b.0.analog-stereo as my default source by several ways:
1.change /etc/pulse/client.conf, add following lines:
default-sink = alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1b.0.hdmi-stereo
default-source = alsa_input.pci-0000_00_1b.0.analog-stereo
2.change /etc/pulse/default.pa, add following lines:
### Make some devices default
set-default-source alsa_input.pci-0000_00_1b.0.analog-stereo
After configuration complete, I tried pulseaudio -D and reboot the device, but the config take no effect. I don't know how to list the current default source and sink, so I use following command to verify:
$> pactl load-module module-loopback latency_msec=500
$> pactl list sources short | grep RUNNING
3 alsa_input.usb-Generic_Rmoncam_HD_720P_200901010001-02.analog-stereo.2 module-alsa-card.c s16le 2ch 48000Hz RUNNING
The pactl still use my usb camera's microphone as its default source.
System Info
Linux kernel:
Linux D2-A109 4.15.0-55-generic #60-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jul 2 18:22:20 UTC 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
PulseAudio version:
$> pulseaudio --version
11.1
Any advice is welcome!
Finally..I find it's just caused by the microphone "unplugged"... And the way to set the default source is correct.
And I find the answer of Q2."How can I list the current default source?":
$> pacmd list-sources | grep -e 'index:' -e device.string -e 'name:' -e 'available'
* index: 1
name: <alsa_input.pci-0000_00_1b.0.analog-stereo>
device.string = "front:0"
analog-input-front-mic: Front Microphone (priority 8500, latency offset 0 usec, available: no)
analog-input-rear-mic: Rear Microphone (priority 8200, latency offset 0 usec, available: yes)
analog-input-linein: Line In (priority 8100, latency offset 0 usec, available: no)
index: 2
name: <alsa_input.usb-Generic_Rmoncam_HD_720P_200901010001-02.analog-stereo>
device.string = "plug:front:1"
analog-input-mic: Microphone (priority 8700, latency offset 0 usec, available: unknown)
index: 3
name: <alsa_input.usb-Generic_Rmoncam_HD_720P_200901010001-02.analog-stereo.2>
device.string = "plug:front:2"
analog-input-mic: Microphone (priority 8700, latency offset 0 usec, available: unknown)
index: 7
name: <alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1b.0.hdmi-stereo.monitor>
device.string = "0"
Corresponding to PulseAudio wiki, The * in front of the index indicates the current default input.
To avoid someone being stupit as me, we can determine if the microphone(source) is plugged, by checking 'available' in the printing result of sources.
How can I list the current default source?
With pulseaudio 15.0 you can now just run pactl get-default-source to get the device string without resorting to running sed/awk/grep etc on the output.

I have an AV Receiver that I want to turn on from standby using cec-client on raspberry pi. The physicall setup is as follows:
RPI --HDMI--> AV Receiver
TV <--ARC_HDMI--> AV Receiver
Scanning my HDMI devices with echo "scan" | cec-client -s -d 1 I get following output:
opening a connection to the CEC adapter...
requesting CEC bus information ...
CEC bus information
===================
device #0: TV
address: 0.0.0.0
active source: no
vendor: Samsung
osd string: TV
CEC version: unknown
power status: standby
language: ger
device #1: Recorder 1
address: 1.0.0.0
active source: no
vendor: Pulse Eight
osd string: CECTester
CEC version: 1.4
power status: on
language: eng
device #5: Audio
address: 3.0.0.0
active source: no
vendor: Harman/Kardon
osd string: H/K AVR
CEC version: 1.4
power status: standby
language: ???
As you can see, my AV Receiver has the device number #5 and physical address 3.0.0.0
I tried following already, using cec-o-matic as reference:
echo "on 3.0.0.0" | cec-client -s -d 0
echo "on 5" | cec-client -s -d 0
echo "tx 15:04" | cec-client -s -d 0
But neither command turns on the AV Receiver. The same commands addressing the TV work without an issue.
After a lot of trial and error, I found out that rebooting my Raspberry Pi actually turns on the receiver! Nice, at least something. Investigating further I found out that in /boot/config.txt one can add/set the hdmi_ignore_cec_init=1 parameter to indicate whether the Raspberry Pi should send an active source message while rebooting. Depending on whether this is set to 0 or 1 my AV receiver turns on when I boot/reboot my RPI.
Now, I obviously don't want to reboot my RPI whenever I want to turn on my AV Receiver. So my question is what is the specific CEC-message the Raspberry sends on boot, so I can replicate it with the cec-client with something along the lines of echo "tx <specific-cec-message>" | cec-client -s -d 1
I already tried monitoring cec traffic on boot with cec-client -f cec.log, but monitoring starts too late and misses the send signal from RPI on boot.
The easiest way to find this out would probably to have a second Raspberry Pi monitoring the bus while the other one boots, but I only have 1 RPI, so I can not test it myself.
Does anyone have an idea, or at least a source for me? Big Thanks for taking the time!
In case it matters here also the specific device models.
TV: Samsung ue55f8090
AVR: Harman Kardon AVR 156
RPI: Raspberry Pi 4 Model B Rev 1.4
RPI_OS: Raspbian GNU/Linux 10 (buster) armv
RPI_KERNEL: Kernel: 5.10.103-v7l+
After more digging, I finally found a solution to my specific problem.
For my setup, as described in my question, one can turn on the Harman Kardon AVR 156 by broadcasting an active source message with the physical address of the TV.
echo "tx 1f:82:00:00" | cec-client -s -d 1
A breakdown of the CEC Frame:
1 = Recording 1 (Raspberry Pi)
F = Broadcast
82 = Active Source
00 00 = ID (TV)
I hope this helps anyone stumbling on this in the future!

Please help - how do I proceed?
Similar issue with "Dummy Sound" on Ubuntu 18.04 also with a NVIDIA card. This solved it for me:
Edit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf as root and add options snd-hda-intel dmic_detect=0
Edit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf as root and add blacklist snd_soc_skl at the end of the file.
After making these changes, reboot your system.
More details (and credits): https://www.linuxuprising.com/2018/06/fix-no-sound-dummy-output-issue-in.html
I had the same problem, and tried the solution given by #maartenor without success.
Eventually I got the sound back by upgrading linux kernel to the last HWE stack, for me it was 4.15.0-106-generic to 5.3.0-59-generic.
The command to do this :
$ sudo apt install linux-generic-hwe-18.04
Edit the file /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf and add the following lines:
options snd-hda-intel dmic_detect=0
options snd-hda-intel model=laptop-amic enable=yes
The first line is to enable the speaker, the second for the internal microphone.
Good luck!
Got this answer from Reddit. Worked like a charm for me!
Link : https://www.reddit.com/r/linuxmint/comments/fltlrl/no_sound_on_acer_swift_3_with_kernel_53/
Try this..
Open your terminal
sudo apt update && sudo apt install alsamixer
run alsamixer in your terminal.
press arrow right til you go to sound option (if headphone go to HEADPHONES bar).
press M to unmute.
press up/down to adjust the volume.
press Esc to exit alsamixer.
Following steps worked very reliably. It does not fix the audio-losing-after-suspend issue permanently, but instantly as a command to run after back from suspend.
Use lspci to get the audio card location (0000:00:1f.3). On my machine,
$ lspci
00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation H110 ...
00:1f.2 Memory controller: Intel ...
00:1f.3 Audio device: Intel Corporation 100 Series/C230 Series Chipset ...
00:1f.4 SMBus: Intel Corporation 100 Series/C230 Series Chipset ...
Then, (make sure the directories below exist)
$ echo 1 | sudo tee /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:1f.3/remove
$ echo 1 | sudo tee /sys/bus/pci/rescan
I believe the audio driver/hardware is stuck. So we remove the device driver, and rescan the PCI bus to get audio back.
i found answer above not work on my computer, and i solve this problem by accidient , this is script i use , most same as answer above, but at last, u need mute then unmute auidio. sleep a short moment after command is necessary here if you put script in sh file then excute it , use sh -c is for file redirection for root
REST=0.5
#make sure Audio always actived
sudo sh -c 'echo 1 >/sys/bus/pci/rescan'
sleep $REST
DEVICE_ID=$(lspci -D | grep Audio | awk '{print $1}')
sleep $REST
sudo sh -c 'echo 1 >/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:1f.3/remove'
sleep $REST
sudo sh -c 'echo 1 >/sys/bus/pci/rescan'
sleep $REST
#mute then unmute to restart audio
amixer -D pulse sset Master mute
sleep $REST
amixer -D pulse sset Master unmute
I have an external monitor that I plug-in my Dell laptop after turn it on. The sound works before and after plug it in the Laptop, So the headphone works too, plugin it in and out too. The problem is when I resume Debian after suspend. The sound has gone, and some times when increasing and decreasing volume one of the three options appears in the screen: Headphone unplugged, HDMI output (or something like), or Dummy Output.
I will show now what happens when Dummy Output is displayed and some outputs of commands.

So it looks like the sound card is there but alsa does not recognize it.
Many forums/sites recommend to blacklist snd_hda_codec_hdmi (that would be the case when the problem is with connecting/desconnecting HDMI for the external monitor), and also put a line:
options snd-hda-intel model=generic
in a file, e.g., /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base-blacklist.conf.
But it didn't work.
Other sites suggest to disable and enable sound in BIOS. Didn't work.
Can anyone help me solve this forever issue?
I'm trying to set up A2DP+HFP profiles in an embedded board. Goal is to use pulseaudio 12.2, ofono 1.18, and bluez 5.41 in order to connect to a mobile phone and use A2DP, HFP profiles automatically, whenever necessary. I did lots and lots of things to update the versions and configure the daemons. Right now I can see that HFP profile is available when connected.
A2DP works perfectly and I am able to stream music from phone to embedded board. When I get a call, I can answer it with Bluetooth and it looks that HFP is the active profile whilst I'm in the call. The weird thing is that there is no audio from the embedded board (HDMI monitor connected to it).
The following will give you how it looks like. When I'm streaming music from phone via A2DP, I get following sources and sinks:

This is quite weird since sink changes from my HDMI monitor to the bluetooth device itself whenever I am in the call. Please find my /etc/pulse/default.pa below:

just installed pocketsphinx on my raspberry pi. Think i'm going crazy but not sure if I'm providing the correct device.
Whenever I run:

I'm using a ps3eye currently. If i do a simple:
arecord -D plughw:1,0 -d 5 -q -f cd -t wav ~/test.wav
Everything works fine ( Verified this by hooking up Raspberrypi to TV via HDMI and running aplay ~/test.wav )
What am I doing wrong guys?

apt-get remove pulseaudio -y
aptitude purge pulseaudio -y
# sphinxbase install

cd /usr/install
wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/cmusphinx/sphinxbase/0.8/sphinxbase-0.8.tar.gz

Took me a while, with with some help from a couple sources ( they will be listed in my answer ) and some helpful hints from nikolay-shmyrev, I finally came up with an answer that worked for me.
Key assumptions:
running these commands as the pi user ( previously I was running them as root, which was incorrect )
I'm using continuous recognition and I was ONLY looking for the ability to "wake-up" my raspberry pi. Upon waking it up, I have other plans on how it should interact.
My setup:
Canakit RaspberryPi
HDMI cable to my Toshiba TV
usb wifi dongle
Playstation 3 Eye for speech recognition
Moving forward. I ran the following commands on my RaspberryPi to get PulseAudio + pocketsphinx working together w/ my Playstation 3 Eye. ( If you see any places for improvement please let me know )

Check if pulse daemon is running
ps aux | grep pulse
# If it isn't, start it up yourself ( need to figure out the best way to make this run on boot...init.d script maybe? )
/usr/bin/pulseaudio --start --log-target=syslog --system=false
Finally, run Sphinx
IMPORTANT NOTE
YOU HAVE TO BE USER PI AND THE PULSEAUDIO SERVER NEEDS TO BE RUNNING
Assumimg existing corpus file, .jsgf file, .dic, and .lm files (using lmtool)

I plan on adding more details behind why I used certain setting, configurations in a blog post i'm writing on my home automation project, but figured, i'd share what i've done thus far incase someone else was stuck like me and would like to move forward with what they're working on. Hope this helps someone. Thanks for the advice guys.
apt-get remove pulseaudio -y
aptitude purge pulseaudio -y
If you don't know how to configure alsa, you should better use pulseaudio, moreover, it's configured on your system. You should better compile sphinxbase with pulseaudio support. For more information read the FAQ:
http://cmusphinx.sourceforge.net/wiki/faq#qfailed_to_open_audio_device_dev_dsp_no_such_file_or_directory
Mixer load failed: Invalid argument
This is a key message, it says that your alsa configuration doesn't support level mixer. If you don't know how to add mixer in alsa configuration, use pulseaudio
./configure --enable-fixed
This is a bad idea too which will reduce both speed and accuracy on your device. Your processor has FPU, so you shouldn't use fixed point mode.
i had the same problem of failing to open audio device.

I fix it buy installing libpulse-dev package then reinstall sphinxbase , pocketsphinx.
