There's a simple heuristic in PA that initially if we have no prior configuration we prefer PCI over USB under the assumption that PCI might be built-in while USB is not. I think usually that is the right approach, but in your case it might not be. > So in gnome-volume-control, I have changed my internal audio card from > "Analog Stereo Duplex" to "Analog Stereo Output", to force my USB > microphone to be the only USB microphone. You should be able to use g-v-c to select the usb mike as default. That will rewrite the entire database for all saved streams. > But now all that happens is that my "Monitor of Internal Analog Stereo" > is now the default microphone for all applications, despite my selecting > of the USB microphone as the default. Uh, that is weird. Possibly because USB initialization is asynchronous these days it isnt right-away available when PA starts up?
