Public bug reported: This is present in Ubuntu 18.04, 18.10, 19.04, and 19.10 daily build. It was not present in Ubuntu 16.04.
I have a USB microphone which also appears to pulse as a speaker. Pulse keeps picking it as the default audio device. I can switch audio devices to my analog line out, which works as expected until I reboot. After reboot, my audio device switches back to the USB "speaker", and Gnome shell / Gnome settings volume control adjusts the USB speaker volume. Despite seeing the USB device as the current output device, I still hear sound from my line-out. In the interest of narrowing down this bug, I have found that disabling "module-switch-on-connect" fixes the problem (my line-out stays as the default audio device and I hear sound).
