That will rewrite the entire database for all saved streams. I would expect this to be exactly what happens, but it doesn't. Both in my case, and in what I instructed my friend to do, is re-enable the PCI microphone, and then use g-v-c to switch between the USB microphone and PCI microphone. No difference. The program still records on the monitor source. To get it to record off a real source, the actual recording stream for the program had to be manually changed in pavucontrol. > > 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? Not only that, but whenever I boot up, there is a chance (dunno, maybe 50%?) that when I reboot my computer, and even if the USB microphone is the only microphone that PA sees, it will still be unchecked in g-v-c, and not set as a fallback device in pavucontrol. You'd think that if there are no recording sources, and then when one comes online, it'd be selected as the fallback automatically.
