Philipp Tuchardt / Ubuntu Default Audio Device

I searched for the awnser a little and found this: https://itectec.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-how-do-you-set-a-default-audio-output-device-in-ubuntu-18-04/

Gonna save this here, because I am going to search it one day again.

  1. Run: pactl list short sinks
  2. Note the device name you want to use as default
  3. Try to run: pactl set-default-sink <Your_Device_Name>
    This should work without giving you an error message.
  4. Open the application “Startup Applications” (Should be preinstalled on Ubuntu)
  5. Click on “Add”
  6. Give your startup item a name
  7. Copy your command from above into the command field:
    pactl set-default-sink 'Your-Device-Name'
  8. Click on “Save”.
