[07:15] <geosmin> new user. i find i have to set the correct output device in sound settings every time i login. what would the proper way of setting up the default be?
[07:16] <geosmin> i've found some stackexchange answers that involve setting a devault pulseaudio sink command to run during every startup but that seems hacky to me
[15:32] <tomreyn> geosmin: an alsa configuration file would be the right approach

[15:35] <tomreyn> that's if this is about different sound cards / audio chipsets. if it's just about different output devices provided by a single sound card, then you may need to configure it differently (i'm unsure how actually)
