My computer has an internal soundcard and an USB speaker.  I don't have
any speakers attached to the internal's jacks, and I listen to music
through the USB speakers.  This works fine with Gnome's control panel
and sound applet: I just select the USB thingy and music comes out.  I
can set the volume with the applet or with keyboard shortcuts.  Fine.

Now I hibernate and resume.

Music still plays through the USB speaker, from which I gather that
Pulseaudio restored fine.  However, Gnome's control center and applet
seem to think that output should go to the internal card.  The applet's
volume bar and the keyboard shortcuts control the volume for the
internal card, with no influence over the actual sound (since it comes
through the USB speaker).  I need to go to the sound preferences panel
and select the USB speaker as output before the controls are connected
back to it rather than to the internal card.

This happens every time I hibernate/resume (once a day, usually).

Roland.

Hey Roland,

Could you please still reproduce this issue with newer gnome-control-center
version like 1:3.4.3.1-2 or 1:3.8.3-7 ?

cheers,

  Hi,

I can still reproduce it with 1:3.8.3-5.  Haven't upgraded to -7 yet,
will try it once the dependencies become available and I can upgrade my
full Gnome.

  I just discovered that the bug also happens every time I unplug and re-plug
the USB speakers, which makes it easy to reproduce.

This is still reproducible with 3.12.2-1 (with the added "bonus" that
the sound preferences window is now one click further away than it
previously was).
