We have configured PulseAudio in Ubuntu to prefer newly plugged in audio devices, which up until 19.04 was uncontroversial. The bug here is that the new version of PulseAudio thinks logging in with an HDMI/DisplayPort monitor already attached counts as newly plugged-in.
If you need a workaround then see comment #3. Upstream is working on it so please keep an eye on: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pulseaudio/pulseaudio/issues/749 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to pulseaudio in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1847570 Title: PulseAudio automatically switches to HDMI sound output on login Status in PulseAudio: New Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in pulseaudio source package in Eoan: Triaged Bug 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". This applies to every login/logout not just reboots. 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.
