Is that rygel? If you checked the DLNA box in paprefs, then yes. If
not, please clarify.

I'm not sure I understand the problem. Do you have any audio apps
playing while this happens?

Do you have a default device configured? pavucontrol calls this the
fallback device.


Also, do you have module-stream-restore loaded? Please attach the
files the reportbug script generates.

Finally, please  attach a debug log of pulseaudio while the problem occurs:

$ pulseaudio -k ; pulseaudio -vvvv --log-time --log-target=file:pa.log
# and now reproduce the problem

Please note the approximate time you plug/unplug the headphone jack so
that I can trace it in the log.
