[SOLVED] Default sound output changing on its own
My default audio device seems to change on its own. It's not a big deal to change it, but I'm curious how I could go about fixing it.

Install Pavucontrol and Paprefs, and set the default device.
Code: Select all
apt install pavucontrol paprefs
Re: Default sound output changing on its own
You'll need to provide some useful system info (make/model as in your sig isn't enough). Copy/paste this to the terminal and copy/paste the text output here:
BTW your sig says you run 18.3 Gnome. There's no Gnome edition of Mint, and if you've installed a Gnome DE you need to specify that.

Re: Default sound output changing on its own
Apologies....I figured Gnome DE was implied as I'm on the Mint forums and 18.3 is the current version.
