Public bug reported:
On system boot both of my audio devices are selectable and useable.
After around 10 minutes the HDMI device just disappears and cannot be
selected as output in either the task bar audio applet or in
Kstart>system settings>audio(either devices or advanced tab).
In the devices tab a device called Dummy output is displayed and in the
advanced tab the HDMI device is shown, in this case GP107GL, with the
profile in the dropdown box underneath it displaying off with no ability
to switch it to on.
If I go to pulse volume control>configuration i am able to select the
HDMI device and the system will use it. If I play a 2 hour movie after
this and then turn off the media player the HDMI device will once again
disappear after about 10 minutes.
When I ran ubuntu-bug <pulseaudio PID> the system identified the HDMI
device and switched to it (it is set as default) and has remained
accessable for 15 minutes now.
I am running the NVIDIA 450 driver package.
If I run Kubuntu 20.10 a similar problem occurs except the the profile
of the device is somehow damaged but by selecting any speaker setup
(profile), audio returns.
