This is still a problem that exists. I have a setup on a laptop where I
have a USB soundcard as well as the internal one. I have set it up where
the USB is the default sound card. What I have noticed is the following:

IF I DO NOT MANUALLY TURN OFF INTERNAL SOUND CARD USING PULSE AUDIO
VOLUME CONTROL

1. Volume settings are "forgotten" (goes to mute)
2. It defaults into the internal speakers, turning off my 5.1 unless I get out 
of my media software and manually go set it back


IF I HAVE MANUALLY TURNED OFF THE INTERNAL SPEAKERS USING PULSE AUDIO VOLUME 
CONTROL

1. The USB is defaulted but
2. The speakers are muted, again I have to leave my media software to manually 
set this back up
3. When I unmute the speakers they are low, I typically leave the speakers at 
150% and use the media software to lower volume, this way I can use my remote 
inside of the media center, this becomes even more of an issue as the highest I 
can go using my remote (to turn up system volume outside of the media software) 
is 100%, so I have to get up and go into the settings and manually crank the 
volume up to 150% again (with my rear speakers being slightly lower)


This brings up another issue which is I don't understand why/how you can have 
max output at 150%, the max of anything is 100%, it doesn't make sense to have 
"secret higher volume" that you can't get to by raising the volume with media 
controls but instead have to manually go into settings to crank it up.


Pulse has made it a long ways in the last year or so but there is still some 
work to be done. Appreciate all the hard work and look forward to the next 
release
