Please describe in more detail what the problem is.

Hi

I was playing an mkv file in vlc on my tv screen through a HDMI cable
connected to my laptopt that runs ubuntu 18.04.

Sound was also playing on TV speakers via the HDMI cable as well.

I disconnected the HDMI cable and found out that sound would not reverse
back to laptop built in speakers.

I rebooted the laptop and the problem persisted.

I therefore connected earplugs to it and than I was able to switch back
to built in speakers.

There is a bug with pulseaudio? I think that is causing all this trouble.

Regards

Koli

This sounds like a duplicate of bug 1711101.
