Bug Description
Whenever I reboot my system, pulseaudio selects my Samson Meteor USB mic as the default output device. I have to manually select the analog output every time. Also, the Default effect sound does not make any noise.

PulseAudio is selecting the USB device for output because that's correct behaviour for USB speakers. And PulseAudio thinks the mic is a speaker because that's what ALSA seems to be telling it.
The real problem here is that the Linux kernel seems to be reporting the mic is an output device. Much like bug 1749207.
