In my specific case I have two output devices: 1. an audio card integrated in the motherboard 2. and an external microphone that has a monitoring output jack
Each of them results in two selectable options (there's always a second "Digital Output (S/PDIF)" prefixed one) in the Ubuntu settings for a total of 4. After startup the usb microphone is selected as the output device so I have to switch it to the integrated sound card analog output. (you can see details about each device in the `pactl list sinks` output in my "workaround" comment) Also whenever I connect my guitar amp (also acts as sound output) it is automatically selected as the active device and disconnecting it results in the microphone being selected again no matter what I had selected before connecting the amp. There is no HDMI involved anywhere. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1924852 Title: Selected output device in Sound settings is not persisted across restarts To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/1924852/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
