Probably not.

However, you can still avoid the bad effect of switching all apps to the 
receiver. To do so, please edit /etc/pulse/default.pa and comment out 
the line about module-switch-on-connect. If that line does not exist, or 
if that doesn't help, comment out module-switch-on-port-available.

If you are using KDE, then module-device-manager can also be the cause 
of this problem. It should not be unloaded, but you can lower the 
priority of the receiver in the KDE control center, in the Multimedia 
applet.
