Public bug reported:

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.
