Bug ID: 436662
Summary: Default Audio Device (profile) does not persist across
login
Product: systemsettings
Version: 5.21.4
Platform: Ubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: kcm_pulseaudio
Assignee: now...@gmail.com
Reporter: culinaryelat...@zohomail.com
CC: plasma-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When I log in to my system, the default audio device is not selected correctly.
It is set to the original device instead of the device which was active at log
out.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Change the default audio device (and/or profile) to something different than
what is initially selected in System Settings -> Audio.
2. Log out
3. Log in
OBSERVED RESULT
Default audio device is reset to the original device.
EXPECTED RESULT
Default audio device is the same when logging in, which it was when logging
out. OR an additional option to set default device on log in.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Kubuntu 21.04
Plasma: 5.21.4
Frameworks: 5.80.0
QT: 5.15
Kernel 5.11.0-16-generic x64
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
After manually editing the pulse configuration file
'~/.config/pulse/default.pa', the desired audio device is active on login.
However, this should be saved using KDE's system settings window, and not need
to be done manually via editing config files.
This has been a problem for a while now, but it is getting better. In the last
version of KDE I was running, it didn't even show my desktop speakers after a
reboot until I restarted pulseaudio. Now they show up initially, so that's good
progress, but the default device after a login should be the same as before the
logout.
I don't know if this is related, but I am also having a problem where quite
frequently (almost daily, but not every login or reboot) the default profile on
my video card is reset. I.e. the active profile changes to 'Digital Stereo
(HDMI 5) Output', instead of 'Digital Stero (HMDI 6) Output', which is what I
repeatedly set it to.
