alsa-project/alsa-lib issue #215 was opened from modulusmath: Ubuntu 21.10 / Codename: impish Running LXDE if it matters I watch youtube listening on my external usb speakers and sounds plays just fine. All of a sudden they go silent and sound is played on the plugged in headset (Plantronics, Inc. DA40 Adapter) without my intervention...Even if I unplug the headset it will switch over to the 'default usb audio analog stereo'. I do see some logs via journalctl near the time of the switch: Mar 01 10:04:57 wilddog pulseaudio[1678]: ALSA woke us up to write new data to the device, but there was actually nothing to write. Mar 01 10:04:57 wilddog pulseaudio[1678]: Most likely this is a bug in the ALSA driver 'snd_usb_audio'. Please report this issue to the ALSA developers. Mar 01 10:04:57 wilddog pulseaudio[1678]: We were woken up with POLLOUT set -- however a subsequent snd_pcm_avail() returned 0 or another value < min_avail. This is a pretty fresh install. How can I keep it stable on the external speakers?
