Bug Description

On my ubuntu 18.04 and 20.04 pulseaudio does not remember default device.

I have headset and webcam. When I choose my headset as default input/output device and it works.But when I logout or reboot/power off my PC, it again chooses my webcam as default device. It`s so annoying, after each logout or power off to select defaut device.

I found a solution, which solves this problem.Deleting of patch 0030-load-module-switch-on-connect.patch fixes my problem.So, unloading module module-switch-on-connect, makes pulseaudio remember default device.
