No audio after some time, have to reboot

I use the Xperia 10 III as my primary work phone. I enjoy maps, so I use location services daily. The audio problem has never (never) hit me. Phone calls, WhatsApp, Spotify, Media app, notifications – audio works with all of them. But I am based in Finland (without a clue how that would save me from the audio issue).

On my Xperia 10 III:
/etc/pulse/default.pa # This file contains “load-module module-suspend-on-idle” – nothing about timeout
/etc/pulse/arm_droid_default.pa # This file contains “load-module module-suspend-on-idle timeout=1”

The following document presents a suitable way of collecting logs about this issue. The script has a focus on audio.
https://docs.sailfishos.org/Support/Help_Articles/Collecting_Logs/Collect_Persistent_Logs/

It is good to know if the following can bring the lost audio back:

systemctl --user stop pulseaudio
systemctl --user stop ngfd
systemctl --user start pulseaudio
systemctl --user start ngfd

I do not typically have more than 5-6 apps open at a time. How many do you have in average, I mean those that suffer from this issue? (thinking of OOM)


I would be glad to come and test the issue on the beaches of Portugal. :slight_smile:
