Set default input device sound in Ubuntu and make it persistent.
Raw
ubuntu multi sound devives.md

I have multiple output device sound and it's allways my headphone by default.

  1. First: List the audio output devices using

pactl list short sources

  1. Second: To set a default output device run the command

pactl set-default-sink <'output_device_name'> Where output_device_name is until .monitor Then, comment this line load-module module-switch-on-connect in the file /etc/pulse/default.pa to be # load-module module-switch-on-connect in order to make the changes persistent.
