In case it's helpful, I posted a bug about this (but, perhaps, incorrectly as an ALSA problem) with my Alsa and PulseAudio information: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/1846290
Above, it was mentioned that perhaps this is regards to module-switch- on-connect. FWIW, when I was testing Fedora 31, it correctly picked my onboard sound controller rather than my HDMI monitors (which have an audio passthrough but no onboard audio capabilities/speakers of their own) from the start and never tried to switch the output device to HDMI. I have further noticed that when I try to launch games via Steam, they have no sound, even if I make sure line out is the selected sound output device in gnome-settings prior to launching Steam. I did not have this problem on 19.04, so I wonder if it's related? Any tips on how I can further investigate and maybe file a separate bug report if necessary? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1847570 Title: PulseAudio automatically switches to HDMI sound output on login To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/pulseaudio/+bug/1847570/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
