If sound comes out of the usb sound card, I guess you explicitly moved audio
streams there? Explicitly moved streams ignore the default device setting.

There is always a fallback device. The pavucontrol UI is bad, it shouldn't
allow going into a state where it looks like nothing is selected as the
fallback device. <a class="bz_bug_link
