[Bug 380928] Re: No easy way to switch default sound output to USB headphones

 

Is this still an issue for anyone?  It worked fine for me opening the
sound panel.

Title:
  No easy way to switch default sound output to USB headphones

Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Description:	Ubuntu 8.10
  Release:	8.10

  I have Logitec USB headphones:
  [    6.254669] input: Logitech Logitech USB Headset as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb1/1-1/1-1:1.3/input/input2
  [    6.268254] input,hidraw0: USB HID v1.00 Device [Logitech Logitech USB Headset] on usb-0000:00:1d.0-1

  When I plug them into the laptop or boot with headphones plugged in,
  the default sound sink in pulseaudio is my built in speakers. There is
  no sane and easy way to switch the sound output to headphones.

  Currently, I am doing this:
  pacmd
  unload-module volume-restore
  set-default-sink 1

  and then restart the application I want to use the headphones.

  This works differently than if I had plugged analogue headphones.

  What should happen instead is something of this:

  1) Sound switches to headphones by default
  2) A pop-up asks me which sound-output I want.
