Switching default (used) sound card
Last modified: 2005-12-30 16:17:59 UTC
Please describe the problem: I use two sound cards, one Intel 82801DB-ICH4 (onboard) and an external Creative SoundBlaster Extigy. At home I want to use the external one and when I go out I want to use the onboad-soundcard. Always when I change the soundcard I have to switch the default sound card in the sound capplet manually. I think it would be better if this would work automatically. I think that's just relevant if one uses an external soundcard... If I choose a default sound card then I want to use it if it's connected - if not, I want to use the other one. And when I connect the external one again, I do that because I want to use it again. "Default sound card" shouldn't mean that it's the only sound card I can/want to use but that it's my preferred one. Steps to reproduce: Actual results: Expected results: Does this happen every time?

Thanks for your bug. The soundcar selector is an Ubuntu feature. Marking as duplicate of #305907 which has the patch about that, it should be discussed with the patch before getting it used upstream *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 305907 ***
