Description
* Cinnamon version 5.4.11
- no daily builds PPA
* Distribution - Mint 21
* 64 bit
Issue
Cinnamon does not remember the selected microphone on reboot.
With the speakers, the output source also changes according to the UI, but the system is playing to the correct speakers - so you cannot control them via mouse wheel and have to go into the settings to change the speaker.
Steps to reproduce
Connect Microphone and Speakers over USB Hub on a System with built-in input and output.
Select them as active input/output.
Reboot.
Expected behaviour
System remembers last selected microphone and speakers.
Sound is controllable via sound icon in bottom right corner, and in the sound settings the used speaker that is shown matches the speaker actually used by the system.
Other information
Microphone is Yeti X.
USB Hub is from i-tec, the i-tec Nano (e.g. this one https://www.galaxus.de/de/s1/product/i-tec-nano-usb-c-dockingstation-usb-hub-13019484?supplier=2705624).
Hub is connected with an USB Adapter (USB C -> USB A) + USB 3.0 extension cord.
