Created attachment 96434 [details] Output of lspcidrake I have bought a laptop from Asus called N550JK and I get this weird issue with kmix that the PulseAudio daemon seems to think or rather prefer that I use the HDMI port to listen to audio streams even thou the speakers in the laptop works well. If I right click on the speaker icon and choose Sound Setting the middle tab called Hardware Sound Setup, it's set to use HDMI. There are 2 options in the dropdown menu that both says Built-In Audio, but the first is for HDMI Audio playback and the other one is for the Analog Audio playback. If I choose the second Built-In Audio alternative and then set to use Speakers and then press the Apply-button it works fine, but if you reboot the computer the issue comes back. It is also reproducible if you connect a Headphone in the Headphone jack and then disconnect it. I've reinstalled Mageia 5 at least 15 times and I'm able to get this problem over and over and over again, even if I choose to only install KDE4 or multiple environments at once.

Sorry but this is not a Kmix bug. The default device preferences are chosen due to a weighting system, this can then be overridden in the device preferences. Please ensure that the defaults really have not been altered by doing a fresh boot, logging in via tty, rm -rf your ~/.pulse folder and then reboot. This will ensure that you get a fresh setup on next boot. If it still has the wrong priority device chosen (use pacmd ls to see each device priority score) by default then open a bug against pulseaudio upstream. For complete clarity, this is not a kmix bug.
