please run the following:

pulseaudio -k ; pulseaudio -vvvv --log-target=file:pa.log --log-time

If the command exits immediately, please retry a few times until the
command stays running.

After that, please try changing the speaker plug back and forth
between the different connectors.

Does pulseaudio pick up the change automatically? If so, then I'd say
there is no problem ;). Maybe a one-time fluke?

If not, please attach the pa.log file, and also the output of the command:

pactl list sinks

Please Run that command once for each connector you can plug your speakers to.


Thanks for your report
