Comment 2 David Edmundson 2019-11-12 16:34:58 UTC 
This is an intentional change as the most important functionality either:

1) Is in the volume settings
2) Didn't work in most situations anyway
Comment 3 Ben Johnson 2019-11-12 17:19:27 UTC 
"Device Priority" is not in my volume settings or anywhere in systemsettings.

Setting Device Priority is working great for me, I can just no longer get to it in systemsettings. I currently have a dozen devices showing up in my "Audio Playback" and "Audio Recording" sections. We use Jabra USB speaker/microphones in our conference rooms so I am constantly adding/removing audio devices from my laptop. Setting the priorities makes this as simple as pluging the device in. Without priorities I have to go change my in/out devices every time I plug one in.
