Public bug reported:
Sound settings don't remember my preferred audio output device.
Every time I (manage to) connect a bluetooth audio device, the default
output remains the built-in PC speaker. Same when I connect USB audio
devices... Ubuntu sticks to the built-in speakers until manually set
otherwise.
This is a bug rather than opinion because there are at least three ways that
Ubuntu could be better prioritizing audio devices:
1. Prefer what the user manually selected last; or
2. Prefer what the user dragged to the top of the list (a missing feature,
but nice idea); or
3. Prefer what audio device appeared in the list most recently.
