Set default sound card in Pulse Audio

Question

I have two soundcards on my systems and pulseaudio always picks the wrong one. How do I set up the default soundcard in the pulse audio preferences?

Answer 1

Install pavucontrol and on the Output devices tab, toggle the "Check" button next to the little lock, on the device you want to mark as the default. Same for Input devices.

Answer 2

I'd have a look at this answer on AskUbuntu. Also try out pavucontrol.
