You can make an icon that starts it like that. Or delete pulseaudio if you are not using it for anything else.

Combine (pcm) + Passthrough (HDMI) -> Combine works, but passthrough does not, cause device cannot be openened (stream fails, see above).
Analog (pcm) + Passthrough (HDMI) -> Analog works, passthrough also works
HDMI (pcm) + Passthrough (HDMI) -> both work
Same for you?
Quote:10:33 < Ford_Prefect> combine + passthrough _is_ tricky to do, and I think it's
too much of a corner case to try to get right
10:34 < Ford_Prefect> fritsch: btw, did you see sjoerd and cassidy's patch set
on trying to make passthrough work better on media center
usecases?
10:34 < Ford_Prefect> also, if you find enough users who care about the
combine/passthrough case, maybe send them here or the
mailing list and at least we can start a discussion to
see if it really is something we need to support
(2014-01-15, 09:44)fritsch Wrote: Possible problems:
- Ubuntu 13.10 has a bug and passthrough might sound like noise, if you are affected only disabling passthrough helps. This is a distribution bug (OpenELEC, Arch, Debian, OpenSUSE works with the same code)
- Passthrough is always exclusive mode. If you have another application hogging the device, e.g. google chrome or skype or something else, Passthrough won't work.
