apologies if i misread this from earlier posts,
but appears to be something i have seen other people have a problem with
the semicolon “;” at start of the line acts like a comment tag
you need to delete the semicolon or the setting is ignored
I have known other people caught out by this
not surprising when most if not all settings are commented out
and another main Pulseaudio file in same folder (default.pa) only uses “#”
also suggest if you expect to do a lot of changes to Pulseaudio configuration:
-
copy /etc/pulse/daemon.conf to ~/.config/pulse/daemon.conf
-
leave original system file alone and only change settings in home folder copy
-
reload Pulseaudio to load new settings
this made tuning settings easier and quicker
(or rolling back to system default easier if you mess up!)
and i can usually pull the home folder configuration into most new distros with no changes
