You have been subscribed to a public bug: Whenever I'm on Ubuntu the audio loses track of the selected output device (Line Out - Built-in Audio), and does not save the selected output when restarting (and perhaps re-logging, I have not tried this). Having several output options to choose from the system apparently chooses the first detected device (in my case, HyperX Cloud Flight S, an USB device). HyperX Cloud Flight S is appropriately selected as the input device. This was present in 20.04 LTS, as well, but not in 18.04 LTS.
Workaround: open the Sound Settings, select the correct output device and keep the Settings window with the Sound settings selected minimized on the Favorites. If you select some other settings or close the Settings Ubuntu will lose track of the output device in a few seconds. ** Affects: pulseaudio (Ubuntu) Importance: Low Status: Incomplete ** Tags: bot-comment jammy -- Sound: ubuntu loses track of the selected output sink https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1986452 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to pulseaudio in Ubuntu. -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
