Same bug here. I'm using a Logitech G333, so appears the problem is not related to a specific USB headset vendor.
The program that I can see that doesn't respect my default device is Pidgin. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to alsa-driver in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1327159 Title: Some applications use the wrong audio output when using a USB headset Status in alsa-driver package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I used the default sound properties display of Ubuntu 14.04 to set the default output from the internal loudspeaker included in my computer (a nice touch found on a Levono tower PC) to an USB headset. Most of the applications correctly output their sound to the USB headset, Rhythmbox for example. There, however, are some applications that still send their sound to the internal loudspeaker, for example the Tomate application [1] and the flash plugin (inside Firefox).
