I believe it is a combination of two separate bugs. 1.) Headphones/line-out jack detection broken: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pulseaudio/pavucontrol/issues/43
As mentioned above, my Built-in-Audio profile is listed as "Analog Stereo Duplex (unplugged)" when it is actually plugged in. 2.) Unplugging headphones changes Built in Audio profile from analog to digital https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pulseaudio/pulseaudio/issues/390 And it keeps defaulting to "Digital Stereo IEC958 Output" on each reboot, because the Analog Stereo Duplex jack detection is broken. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Studio Bugs, which is subscribed to pavucontrol in Ubuntu.

I have HDMI out from my GPU to my desktop monitor "GP104 High Definition Audio Controller" and "Built-in Audio" from my on-board audio. I typically wish to use my built-in audio which should send output to my headphones. The problem is that on the Configuration page the "Built-in Audio" option always defaults to "Digital Stereo IEC958 Output" when I need it to use "Analog Stereo Duplex (unplugged)". Note: It is not actually unplugged. I can select the analog stereo profile, but it will not save permanently. Every time I reboot may machine it resets to "Digital Stereo IEC958 Output". Note: I've also tried to use the "Set as fallback" button without success. This did not happen with 18.04.
