Ubuntu 21.04 - Gnome Sound Panel ignoring output selection

br flag
jrcichra

I did a sudo apt upgrade on Ubuntu 21.04 on September 9th/10th and now sound no longer comes out my headphones. If I do the sound test with my headphones plugged in, it comes out the last output device, even though I have my headphones selected.

The updates to the gnome-control-center seem like a likely candidate.

I solved it by first stopping pulseaudio:

systemctl stop --user pulseaudio.socket
systemctl stop --user pulseaudio.service

Then moving my pulse audio config out of the way

cd ~/.config
mv pulse pulse_old

Then restarted pulseaudio

systemctl start --user pulseaudio.socket
systemctl start --user pulseaudio.service

Now every application is pointing to the right device.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
