Status in “pulseaudio” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: When I connect a Bluetooth device, sound is automatically forwarded to the device but volume controls still control the internal sound card device. I must open the sound settings and click on the Bluetooth output device to use volume controls. I wish that the volume controls would automatically control whatever output device is actually active. :) This bug has existed for many versions of Ubuntu now.
