[Satellite P55W-C, Realtek ALC233, Speaker, Internal] Pulseaudio fails to detect card

[Michael Chesterton]

It's related to a JBL Flip 2 bluetooth speaker.

It worked perfectly in 16.04, in 18.04 the bluetooth speaker doesn't reconnect after a laptop suspend/resume cycle, I need to delete it from the bluetooth paired devices and repair it.

Often the output sound device is missing, it only shows dummy. If I suspend while the bluetooth speaker is connected it's garanteed to disappear, but it sometimes disappears after I turn off the bluetooth speaker without suspending. Rebooting restores the output sound device and the internal speaker starts working again.

I'm happy to provide further info and do some testing.
