Bug ID: 423639 Summary: Fails to remember device setting Product: pulseaudio-qt Version: unspecified Platform: Other OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: general Assignee: nicolas.fe...@gmx.de Reporter: devguy...@gmail.com Target Milestone: --- Created attachment 129752 --> https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=129752&action=edit Fiio BTR5 Pulse Audio setting SUMMARY I have a FiiO BTR5 DAC+AMP, each time I reboot, or unplug or replug the device to USB, my selection seems to be forgotten. Sometimes Fiio BTR5 (with headphone icon) will change, I've seen it also change on it's on from "OFF" to one of the other settings. This result in no audio. Same for FiiO BTR5 (with hardware icon) it will sometime just mess up my selection. This is really getting frustrating for me to always home to open the Pulse Audio setting and have to manually re-set my setting so I can have working audio! What I like the system to be able to do is remember previous selected setting, even if the device has been shut off or unplugged with multiple reboots. If I unplug my FiiO BTR5 device and then have to change the setting for audio to work, I expect when I plug in my device the system is smart enough to understand I want the previous pulse audio setting as my current one, if I then unplug the device it smart enough to fallback to my previous working setting. I tend to get random results which result in no audio working. At first as a new User I was completely baffled by my audio failing to work when it was working and I had no idea how to fix this. This is really poor user experience. FYI: I have had the same issue with BlueYeti mic, which also allow a headphone to be connected to the mic as it also has a DAC+AMP, some mess up with device setting getting changed randomly. STEPS TO REPRODUCE (Case 1) 1. Plug in FiiO BTR5 to USB 2. Open Pulse Audio, configure setting to get audio working. 3. Unplug FiiO BTR5 device 4. Plug in FiiO BTR5 device OBSERVED RESULT (Case 1) Previous setting fail to be remember at times. STEPS TO REPRODUCE (Case 2) 1. Plug in FiiO BTR5 to USB 2. Open Pulse Audio, configure setting to get audio working. 3. Reboot system OBSERVED RESULT (Case 2) Previous setting fail to be remember at times. EXPECTED RESULT Previous setting for the device as remember and re-set properly after reboot or re-plugin of device or after device power is turned back on.
