Still present? Sounds like the PulseAudio config interception is doing a bad job. Also FWIW: the interception is why the timestamp of the config file you found is not changing (it does not do for any config change with PA support enabled). ** Changed in: phonon (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to phonon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/769274 Title: Phonon default capture device preferences are not saved To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/phonon/+bug/769274/+subscriptions -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs

[Bug 769274] Re: Phonon default capture device preferences are not saved
installing pavucontrol did not solve my problem. I have a 5.1 setting but the subwoofer is disabled every time. It disables somehow from one song to the next in Amarok I have to change settings in Configuration panel of pavucontrol, then change it back to 5.1, but it resets again to some sort of 5.0 with the next song. Sound used to work so well, I never had a problem with Kubuntu sound before. In 10.4 I could set everything via the mixer with no problem.

Not sure if this is related to this bug, but when I first enter Phonon in Multimedia, speaker setup shows my webcam as the output device. If I change it to internal audio, click Apply, and go back to the main window, when I go back it is showing nothing under speaker setup and the menus are empty. Also, I only have to click on Phonon for the Apply button to light up and for it to tell me that the settings haven't been saved. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to phonon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/769274 Title: Phonon default capture device preferences are not saved -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs

[Bug 769274] Re: Phonon default capture device preferences are not saved
I did try the workaround suggested by Jukka, but my motherboard comes with a 7.1 sound card and the microphone jack is always that, a microphone jack. As for my workaround with pavucontrol: the application for which you want to change the input/output device, must be active and playing/recording sound. In the case of Skype, calling the nice lady from "Skype Test Call" and changing the input device at the same time does the trick. Once you change it, it is remembered, so you don't have to do it again. This is not a major bug, but it can be a real show-stopper especially for newcomers. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to phonon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/769274 Title: Phonon default capture device preferences are not saved -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
[Bug 769274] Re: Phonon default capture device preferences are not saved
This is a workaround, too: in Phonon Speaker Setup - select Sound Card: Internal Audio - change from profile Analog Stereo Duplex -> Analog Stereo Output This seems to disable the microphone from the Internal Audio sound card. After this the USB microphone is next on the list and it works.

[Bug 769274] Re: Phonon default capture device preferences are not saved
I found a workaround of the problem that persists even after reboot. I installed pavucontrol and manually set Skype (and any other desired application) to use my USB microphone, instead of the Internal Device. Now I can finally start enjoying KDE... The original bug still exists. Any changes in the Phonon Module are not saved. This is also tested on a fresh Kubuntu 11.04 (NOT beta) with all updates. If it wasn't for the workaround above, I would have gone back to GNOME. ** Changed in: phonon (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed ** Description changed: + UPDATE: This also affects the official Kubuntu 11.04 release. + Binary package hint: phonon I own a Logitech Pro 9000 Webcam with a built-in microphone.

Upon reopening Phonon, the device order is the old one and not the changed one. I'm trying to set "QuickCam Pro 9000 Analog Mono" as my first capture device, but after applying the settings and reopening Phonon Control Module, the "Internal Audio Analog Stereo" device is first.

[Bug 769274] Re: Phonon default capture device preferences are not saved
It doesn't appear that saving the settings changes anything in ~/.kde/share/config/phonondevices. When I save a different ordering of devices, the datestamp on the file doesn't change, and the only file whose datestamp changes is ~/.kde/share/config/systemsettingsrc which has no information about sound devices. There are also two files in ~/.config/kde.org/, but neither of them are relevant as well. I've looked in a couple of other likely spots and cannot find any configuration file that is changed when I save settings in this dialog. As the poster of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/phonon/+bug/638965, I can confirm that it has nothing to do with that report. (In fact, I later determined that I had missed the prefer/defer buttons.) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to phonon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/769274 Title: Phonon default capture device preferences are not saved -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs

Furthermore, under the Speaker Setup tab, clicking on "Front Left/Right" Speaker Testing produces no sound, however applications such as Skype, Amarok and system notifications produce sounds without any issues.
