How to disable "Select Audio Device" pop-up on Ubuntu 18.04

  • 772

I'm using Ubuntu 18.04 LTS on a Dell XPS 9570. Every time I plug my headphones in my laptop I get this annoying pop-up that blocks the entire desktop until I select an option. It's very annoying.

Select audio device pop-up

How can I disable it? I cannot believe that in 2019 I need to specify the audio device every time I plug the headphones.

    If you are using GNOME, this can be fixed using the Remove Audio Device Selection Dialog extension.

  2. Use this extension (tested on Ubuntu 22.04): https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/3928/auto-select-headset/
