2019-10-10 06:59:38 Michael Vogt summary Correct output device needs to be set again on each reboot Correct output device needs to be set again on each login
2019-10-10 06:59:58 Michael Vogt description On my freshly installed eoan system I have two output devices: - HDMI/DisplayPort 2 - GK208 ... - Line Out - Family 17h ... When I login into the system pulseaudio always select the "wrong" one (HDMI) and I need to go to gnome-settings/Sound/Output Device and switch to "line out". I would be good if it would remember this choice so that I have to do it only once. Or maybe (if that is technically possible) just output on both output devices by default - this would be even more user friendly for newbies who will have a hard time finding the right place to change this (or maybe have UI in the volume slider to select outputs if there are more than one? But anyway, my immediate concern is that it should just remember my choice :) Please let me know if I can provide more information. Happy to dig into code if needed but I will need some pointers.

When I login into the system pulseaudio always select the "wrong" one (HDMI) and I need to go to gnome-settings/Sound/Output Device and switch to "line out". This applies to every login/logout not just reboots. [Test Case] 0. Plug in a monitor that supports HDMI audio (one that appears in your Settings>Sound) 1. Log out and in again. Verify the default audio device in Settings is still speakers or headphones. Not the monitor's HDMI audio device. [Regression Potential] Low. The fix proposed just reverts to the same code used in PulseAudio 12 and earlier. It has also been released and verified on focal already.

[Regression Potential] The behaviour is changed back to what it was before 19.10, some users might find it inconvenient and prefer the auto switch but the feedback we got shows it's unreliable and an annoying for the majority of our users so we will got back to default to safest behaviour.
