Ubuntu 22.04 LTS forgets audio output device setting on reboot

  • 772

Audio works fine. But any time I reboot the audio settings changes to select digital output (S/PDIF) built-in audio even though nothing is plugged in to that jack. So each time I reboot I have to go in to the settings to point to line out - Built-in-audio.

Not a huge problem but inconvenient. I did see similar questions and answers but those questions were quite old and not on point.

I haven't done testing to see if other settings are effected since the system is running perfectly otherwise.

Shouldn't the change in audio output settings be remembered automatically? I see no save button.

Thanks in advance.

    To force pulse audio to use the most recently selected output source:

    sudo vi /etc/pulse/default.pa

    Comment out this line:

    load-module module-switch-on-port-available

    to:

    #load-module module-switch-on-port-available

    Save and exit.

    Restart pulse audio:

    pulseaudio -k
