Comment 13 for bug 1256511

I am experiencing the same problem.
My pc is connected to HDMI monitor with build-in speakers and also to 5.1 surround speakers. On 12.04 and 13.04 I was able to set the Analog-Output ( 5.1 speakers) as my default output device. This setting remained across reboots. Right after upgrading to 13.10 my output device was reset to HDMI/Display Port. I am still able to change the output device to Analog-Output (my speakers), and sounds works perfectly but unfortunately this setting is lost after reboot.

Settings right after reboot:
pactl list sources short
0 alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1b.0.hdmi-stereo.monitor module-alsa-card.c s16le 2ch 44100Hz SUSPENDED
1 alsa_input.pci-0000_00_1b.0.analog-stereo module-alsa-card.c s16le 2ch 44100Hz SUSPENDED

pactl list sinks short
0 alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1b.0.hdmi-stereo module-alsa-card.c s16le 2ch 44100Hz SUSPENDED

And after switching to Analog Output in Sound settings
pactl list sources short
0 alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1b.0.hdmi-stereo.monitor module-alsa-card.c s16le 2ch 44100Hz SUSPENDED
1 alsa_input.pci-0000_00_1b.0.analog-stereo module-alsa-card.c s16le 2ch 44100Hz SUSPENDED
3 alsa_input.pci-0000_00_1b.0.analog-stereo.2 module-alsa-card.c s16le 2ch 44100Hz SUSPENDED
4 alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1b.0.analog-surround-51.monitor module-alsa-card.c s16le 6ch 44100Hz SUSPENDED

pactl list sinks short
0 alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1b.0.hdmi-stereo module-alsa-card.c s16le 2ch 44100Hz SUSPENDED
2 alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1b.0.analog-surround-51 module-alsa-card.c s16le 6ch 48000Hz SUSPENDED

I also have:

[Jack Line Out]
state.plugged = unknown

in /usr/share/pulseaudio/alsa-mixer/paths/analog-output.conf

but changing it to state.plugged = yes doesn't fix the problem

Appreciate any help here,
Thanks,
