Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
I have a HDMI monitor with built-in sound. I would like to use an
analog sound output on my laptop, but my system prefers sending the
sound output to the HDMI monitor. I use Pavucontrol to set the output
according to my preference, but these settings are forgotten and I have
to set them again and again.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
I click on Pavucontrol > Settings > Built-in Audio > Profile > Digital
Stereo (HDMI) Output - changed to Analog Stereo Output
and then in Playback > ALSA Playback > Built-in Audio Digital Stereo
(HDMI) - changed to Built-in Audio Analog Stereo.
* What was the outcome of this action?
The sound is played through the analog ouptut, but when I quit the
application and start it again over time, or when I restart the
system, the digital (HDMI) output settings are back again.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
I would like to set my preferred sound output settings just once.
