It has to be fixed in 18.04 first. And after that it may get backported to 17.10 only if people can confirm the fix is helping them. I would love to get feedback from more users on that -- it seemed to not make any difference for me when I tried it.
Bionic users will have the fix soon at least: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/1:11.1-1ubuntu3 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to pulseaudio in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1732629 Title: Selecting USB Amp/Dac audio output in gnome sound does nothing Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: Running Ubuntu 17.10, when I plug an external USB Amp/Dac it is correctly recognized and I can play audio through it via aplay, but when I select it as my output sink from gnome sound, nothing happens: apps still output sound via the speakers. In order to fix it I have to restart pulseaudio. I've also found online that modifying /etc/pulse/default.pa, moving module-switch-on-connect.so loading before module-udev-detect.so, permanently fixes the issue.
