I have this problem since some week ago, when some sound is played first second or so of it is barely heard.
There is "Test" sound in
When I click on "Front Left" for instance, it says "front left", out of this I barely hear "front" it's like muted, while "left" is heard normally.
This is not specific to this test but to any audio, I'm attaching the screenshot to better explain what it happens in any audio, be it in web browser watching YouTube or playing some game it doesn't matter.
After this first almost muted audio the rest of audio then works normally, but only for a couple of minutes or until some audio is done with the output, and then again which ever audio is played again first few second or two are barely heard.
And so on it resets until some sound plays.
Restarting pulseaudio with
Killing pulseaudio with
However this only works for couple of minutes until it's back to almost muted first few seconds.
I have no clue how to fix this.
I've also reinstalled pulseaudio with the following steps but that didn't fix anything:
Will also purge:
Will then also install:
