Description Sean Cross 2025-10-08 08:28:35 UTC 
SUMMARY

When changing audio tracks, for example when clicking "Skip forward" or when the track ends, the audio device changes to an incorrect device.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have two audio devices
2. Click "Skip forward"

OBSERVED RESULT

I have multiple audio devices -- a "WH-1000XM3" Bluetooth device and "Creative Pebble Pro Analog Stereo". I have my Playback Device set to "WH-1000XM3". I have the playback device set in Applications to "WH-1000XM3". However, whenever I change to the next track, it switches back to "Creative Pebble Pro Analog Stereo".

EXPECTED RESULT

The audio device should not change between tracks.
