Public bug reported: # Introduction
My computer has multiple audio devices, so I had to select the correct one in the "Sound" section of "Settings". This worked fine, except that whenever I restart the computer this setting resets to the original one. Effectively I have to visit the sound settings on each system startup in order to hear anything. # How to reproduce 1. have system with multiple audio outputs 2. open sound settings 3. select non-default output device 4. restart computer 5. open sound settings # Expected result Selected audio device is the same as the one selected right before restart. # Actual result The active output device is the original default one (i.e. not the one that we selected). # System information $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS Release: 20.04 $ apt-cache policy gnome-control-center gnome-control-center: Installed: 1:3.36.5-0ubuntu1 Candidate: 1:3.36.5-0ubuntu1 Version table: *** 1:3.36.5-0ubuntu1 500 500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal-updates/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 1:3.36.1-1ubuntu5 500 500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal/main amd64 Packages ** Affects: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1924852 Title: Selected output device in Sound settings is not persisted across restarts To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/1924852/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
