[Tom Inglis <1334329@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have also just been affected by this bug.

I have been using Ubuntu 14.04 fine from June until now, but I just had
a lockup which caused this issue for me.

I have the Asus Xonar DS PCI sound card in an Asus M5A97 EVO
motherboard.

I was running DOTA2 via Steam at the same time as Mumble 1.2.8, with the
audio outputted to my headphones, and the microphone on the soundcard
selected (and being picked up from my headphones).

I Alt-Tabbed from the game to alter the volume for Steam / DOTA2 in the
Applications tab of Sound, and when I returned to the game I got a
lockup which required that I restart my machine.

After restart I now have the behaviour described in this bug - the SPDIF
input is selected by default and if I select Microphone, and come back
into Sound the SPDIF input has been reselected.

Title:
  Sound input settings not saved

Status in “alsa-driver” 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
