[Brandon MacEachern <maceach.b@xxxxxxxxx>]

Once again, I do not understand any of this.  You're asking me to do
this but I am just a casual user who wrote this bug report because me,
like others, are experiencing this only on Ubuntu.

If you can ELI5 (explain like I'm 5), I might be able to do something.
Otherwise if not, I give up and will abandon all hope here.  Linux
should not require a user to be basically a programmer to fix something
stupid like a built in microphone on my computer.

Title:
  Sound input settings not saved

Status in “alsa-driver” package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in “pulseaudio” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When attempting to set my preferred sound input device, simply leaving
  sound preferences and going back to sound preferences, and selecting
  input, causes the default SPDIF to be selected again, and not the
  internal microphone I preferred.  I made a video to demonstrate what I
  mean by this here:  http://youtu.be/9Q9EQvLl_rA

  
  1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd' or System -> About Ubuntu
  14.04

  2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy pkgname' or by checking in Software Center
  I really don't know.  It's just the sound preferences.

  3) What you expected to happen
  For my selected sound input to be saved.

  4) What happened instead
  Keeps defaulting to the top sound input
