Bug Description
I have a Laptop connected to an USB-C dock. By default the docks analog
audio output is chosen as the default pulse audio sink. I want that the
analog output of the Laptop is the default, hence I configured this in
/etc/pulse/
This does not work and journalctl informs me that the device chosen by me
(alsa_output.
from journalctl.
I have followed Workaround 1 here https:/
to prevent pulseaudio getting started in gdm to prevent device capture.
This does not work, the device does still not exist.
Restarting pulseaudio sometimes, but not always sets the configured
default sink. Furthermore plugging in the headphones in the Laptops analog input
switches audio to the dock.

This is the intended default behaviour of Ubuntu; to automatically switch to the audio device most recently plugged in.
To disable this feature, please edit /etc/pulse/ default. pa and comment out the line:
load-module module- switch- on-connect
making it:
# load-module module- switch- on-connect
