I recently moved to Ubuntu 18.04 from Ubuntu 16.04 and trying to re-task my Rare Blue Audio Jack as Headphone Jack [Line Out(front)]. I did this in 16.04 using hdajackretask. But when I am trying to Override the jack in my current OS, I am getting the following error:



enter image description here



My terminal output looks like-



~$ sudo hdajackretask
E: [pulseaudio] core-util.c: Home directory not accessible: Permission denied
E: [pulseaudio] main.c: Failed to kill daemon: No such file or directory
0x11 0x99430130
0x14 0x01014010
0x15 0x01011012
0x16 0x01016011
0x17 0x01012014
0x18 0x01a19040
0x19 0x02a19050
0x1a 0x01014010
0x1b 0x02214020
0x1e 0x4037d500
1


I tried alsamixer automute disabling and pulseausio restart. None worked.



Any idea how to make it work?

          use terminal command aplay -l to list sound playback hardware devices



          devices should show as available "Subdevices: 1/1"

          "Subdevices: 0/1" would indicate device is busy, probably in use by Pulseaudio



          got to Pulseaudio Volume Control Configuration tab (pavucontrol -t 5)
          set all listed devices to "Off"



          aplay -l should now confirm device available and hdaretask can apply settings



          Change configuration back to enable audio hardware in Pulseaudio when done

          • Doesn't work. And more importantly, I can't reset my old pavucontrol config

          • what was response to aplay -l? don't understand why you cannot reset changes made in pavucontrol, did you clear any settings in hdajackrestask that could be Pulseaudio starting?
