All you need to do is move the streams to the correct sink the next time you start them. Pulseaudio defaults to the first device and directs applications to that as they are opened. It also remembers which device and the volume settings for each application for the next time the application is used which overrides the default setting. So, if you have an application playing in the wrong device you must move it the next time it plays so pulse will remember. You can change the default device in pavucontrol but that will only affect new applications.
There is intermittent discussion about changing this behavior at the pulseaudio mailing list and patches have been proposed but Lennart seems a little resistant though he admits that "default" is not really default. -- pulseaudio doesn't care about default device https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/346753 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
