I have the same issue when I boot up with my USB headphone plugged in. The sound output defaults to the USB headphone, the volume controller controls its volume. However the sound comes from the internal speaker as I expect it to do. If I change the sound output device to the internal speakers then the sound controller works fine until I reboot. After reboot everything starts over again. If I don't have the USB headphones plugged in during boot then this issue doesn't happen.
I have an Asus Zephyrus S GX531GX laptop and a pair of Asus Delta USB headphones. 19.10 and 20.04 both have this issue. ** Tags added: fecal -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1838577 Title: Default audio device changes on reboot; audio still outputs using my previously-selected device To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/1838577/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
