IMO it's more ALSA/udev related. I.e. ALSA + udev (rules) assign
audio device name.<br>

Alas, Linux audio is still a mess - even though I've never
seriously used Window. I'm on UNIX0like systems since 1991 or so.<br>

I'm not sure whether this is the correct place to address my
thoughts or not. If you think there's a better/correct place to
bring-up this discussion - please let me know, and I will repost
this to another place.<br>

While I believe this might be not Ubuntu 20/22 specific, I'm
super irritated by the change of default audio input and output
when new devices are connected. Some/most of us, engineers, are
using advanced setup for our convenience, and quite often these
come into play: docking stations / bluetooth headsets / usb
audio card / etc. While on Windows, my setup just works (TM):
whatever I do - either switch to Windows PC via KVM with
integrated USB hub where I have external USB mic and Logitech
camera attached - it just remembers my previously selected audio
devices and just reuses those. With Ubuntu: every, every single
time I attach something audio related - I need to go into audio
settings and change my default audio input and output devices.<br>
<br>
With this email I hope to spark a discussion to make the whole
audio experience much more friendlier for everyone, than it is
now.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
Andrejs Cainikovs.<br>
