Public bug reported:
Using the gnome-control-centre sound applet to change the output device
from the motherboard's default to an external USB device used to work
well on 19.10, but does not work on 20.04 Beta.
I use a USB headphone DAC/amp on my desktop (Schiit Modi/Magni combo).
Under Ubuntu 19.10 I could use the sound applet in the gnome-control-
center to select either that USB device or basic audio through the HDMI
cable on my monitor (it would always default to the basic audio on
reboot, but that's another story) then use my headphones happily.
Using Ubuntu 20.04 Beta the sound applet shows all of the expected
devices, but choosing different devices has no effect - any music then
played continues to come only from the monitor. Using the 'Test' button
plays sound only through the monitor also.
