** This bug has been marked a duplicate of bug 443306 everytime i boot i have to select mic as my input device -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to pulseaudio in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/640328 Title: Input device is not saved Status in “pulseaudio” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: pulseaudio Symptoms: In Sound Preferences -> Input I see "Internal Audio Analog Stereo" and "QuickCam Pro 5000 Analog Mono". Only the QuickCam captures input from an actual microphone, so I would like to use it, and it only. However, every time I reboot Pulseaudio somehow decides to use the "Internal Audio Analog Stereo" instead of my selected default. How to reproduce: 1. Select "QuickCam Pro 5000 Analog Mono" as the device for sound input in the Sound Preferences window. 2. Reboot and log in again What happens: "Internal Audio Analog Stereo" is selected as the Pulseaudio sound input device. What should happen: "QuickCam Pro 5000 Analog Mono" should still be selected as the Pulseaudio sound input device. 100% reproducible. Possible cause: Could it be that Pulseaudio starts before the webcam is initialized, so it shifts to "Internal Audio Analog Stereo" as a fallback on startup? Workaround: Select "QuickCam Pro 5000 Analog Mono" as the device for sound input in the Sound Preferences window after every reboot. Simple fix: Some way to disable the selection of individual devices, so they will not be used. Good fix: Save the selected device, and select that if it ever becomes available during a GNOME session. Better fix: Mix all input sources, and allow the user to disable those they don't want to capture from. Additional tweak: Monitor all input devices, and if there is a "better" input source, suggest to the user to change to it. "Better" could for example mean that it captures more input of a moderate level, such as 5-95%.
