I have tested this fix on 3 different motherboards and it seems to fix. Here is the issue, start playing a youtube video from chrome or chromium. Stop then try playing a video or audio file with vlc. Vlc gives an error about not finding "default" sound. The fix is to adjust a client.conf file in the /etc/pulse/ folder. You can also put the client.conf file into the /home/$USERNAME$/.config/pulse. I'm showing the client.conf file and also attaching it. You will need to restart the sound server or just restart the computer after you make these changes. If pulse is not started then this can be done immediately.
code to check pulse audio is running:

Code: [Select]
pulseaudio --check


Now the file:

; autospawn = yes
; daemon-binary = /usr/bin/pulseaudio
; extra-arguments = --log-target=syslog

; enable-shm = yes
; shm-size-bytes = 0 # setting this 0 will use the system-default, usually 64 MiB

enable-shm = no


The last line is what is modified.
