probably you have to tell pulse-audio what the sink is.

try "pacmd list-sinks", and make sure AFTER you disconnect the wire the sink is still there.

you'll still have to tell pulse-audio which sink to use though.

pacmd --help

for example if i do pacmd list-sinks

  * index: 2
        name: <alsa_output.usb-Audioengine_Audioengine_2_-00-A2.analog-stereo>

then in my /etc/pulse/default.pa file:

set-default-sink alsa_output.usb-Audioengine_Audioengine_2_-00-A2.analog-stereo

you should be able to do the same thing with pacmd, e.g.

pacmd set-sink [name of your sink]
