Description Philippe ROUBACH 2017-01-02 13:47:40 UTC

opensuse 42.2
pulseaudio 9.0
webcam logitech C310

there is only one micro, micro of webcam

in kde multimedia settings webcam is well listed and active

in pavucontrol webcam port is "microphone" and webcam is set to "default alternative" this is "internal audio analog stereo" which is "default alternative"

if i set webcam to "default alternative" and i restart pc then webcam is still set to "default alternative"

according to use webcam mic with hangouts for example
then
in kde multimedia settings i must set webcam to high priority

some news from pulseaudio from freedesktop.org

there is a problem from pa but also from kde.

they say:
*******************************************************************************
I believe this is caused by module-device-manager, which KDE uses to manage the device priorities. It doesn't currently understand ports at all, which means that it doesn't check whether the currently active port of a source is unavailable before deciding to use the source.
