How do I set the default sound card in Ubuntu 18.04?
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
Using "alsamixer" in the terminal, one can select a sound card. However, even if one tries to save settings with "sudo alsactl store" after a power cycle the sound card returns to its previous default and resets its state (any modifications you made to sound settings of that card). I need to switch my default sound card from sound card 0 to sound card 1, and get sound card 1 to save the changes I made to its dB settings. Any assistance?

The card selection in alsamixer just affects what mixer controls are shown in alsamixer. And doesn't Ubuntu use PulseAudio (i.e., pavucontrol)?

Test for pulseaudio withpactl list. If this works, follow the guidelines for changing pulseaudio defaults.

The card selection in alsamixer just affects what mixer controls are shown in alsamixer. And doesn't Ubuntu use PulseAudio (i.e., pavucontrol)?
