You have been subscribed to a public bug: Since my upgraded from Kubuntu 14.04 to 16.04, my audio settings are not stored properly any longer. When I reboot, the audio comes through the built-in audio speakers of my Thinkpad. However; I have a screen attached to HDMI (dock) with a better audio device.
With Pulse Audio Volume Control under Configuration, I see that the setting is Analog Surround 4.0. Then I change to Digital Stereo (HDMI) Output, and the sound comes from my HDMI device. After each and every reboot, it starts with the Analog Surround Sound 4.0 and from my laptop. Once I have switched back to HDMI, the tab 'Output Devices' then shows as only available Device HDMI/Display Port (unplugged). It is *not* unplugged, otherwise I couldn't get my sound from my HDMI device, could I? Reboot and repeat. This never happened under 14.04. ** Affects: pulseaudio (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Pulse audio doesn't store configuration any longer https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1727515 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to pulseaudio in Ubuntu. -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
