Hi, I have a problem on a fresh install of Debian Jessie with KDE. On Debian Wheezy and Ubuntu Trusty I could change the output device for each application through pavucontrol, and upon reboot the application would "remember" that device and use it again. On Jessie instead I have to change the output device from the default internal soundcard to my external soundcard each time the computer is rebooted. I tried to follow this guide http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/Documentation/User/DefaultDevice/ to change the default output device, so I added the following line to /etc/pulse/default.pa set-default-sink alsa_output.usb-E-MU_Systems__Inc._E-MU_0404___USB_E-MU-0E-3F04-07D80A14-027A8-STATION_01-00-USB.analog-stereo and after I did that I also temporarily disabled pulseaudio by sudo mv /usr/bin/pulseaudio /usr/bin/pulsefoo so that it wouldn't respawn and terminating it with ksysguard. When disabled I deleted the the ~/.config/pulse directory, re-enabled pulseaudio and rebooted. Unfortunately applications would still output to the internal soundcard by default. I'm pretty sure that I specified the name of the external soundcard correctly because if I use that name with paswitch https://www.tablix.org/~avian/blog/archives/2012/06/switching_pulseaudio_output_device/ it works (unfortunately the changes with paswitch are again only temporary). Not sure if this is somehow related to the above issue, but the settings I choose the for Phonon in the KDE multimedia settings don't stick either. I select the external soundcard as the default device and upon reboot the internal one is on top on the preferences list. Any suggestions on how to make the settings permanent so that I don't have to use pavucontrol each time I reboot the computer? Cheers, Sam
