Public bug reported: I really hope I am submitting this bug to the right place, but every time I log in (whether after logout, reboot, etc.) the sound output and input devices resort to my HDMI cable (monitor) and the mic on my webcam instead of the devices I last selected.
In previous versions of Ubuntu, if I were to select my speakers as the output device, they would remain the default until I changed it again, even after logout/log in. Now, whenever I log in, the sound still comes out of my speakers, but adjusting the volume does not work properly until I go into settings > sound > and then reselect my speakers as the output device. The volume indicator pops up on screen and it shows the sound going up or down, but it says it is adjusting the sound to my HDMI cable instead and it has no effect on my desktop speakers. I really hope that makes sense.
