Public bug reported: The module-switch-on-connect module that has been enabled by default in Artful is causing virtual devices added by PulseEffects (https://github.com/wwmm/pulseeffects) to be activated and set to the default/failsafe device. This also changes which device the system volume control changes. It should only automatically switch when a physical audio device is plugged in. If there is no way to detect this automatically, then I would say this should not be the default configuration, or it should be added as an optional preference. In the meantime, I have worked around the issue by copying /etc/pulse/default.pa into ~/.config/pulse and commenting out loading the module.
