           Summary: Phonon Sound Settings not Saved
           Product: systemsettings
           Version: 4.1
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: alw at al-williams.com


Version:            (using KDE 4.1.3)
Compiler:          gcc 4.3 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

Going to System Settings and clicking Sound brings up the device preference
tab. Changes made there "take" for awhile but later the list reverts to its
default state (which emits sound from the wrong sound card). It seems to be at
a random interval, but never "takes" for very long. 

In addition, Apply Device List to seems to not actually commit the changes
made. The only files changed in .kde/share/config don't seem to get any real
changes.

Temporary workaround: I don't use phonon at all. I have the notifications set
up to execute soundplayer and I avoid phonon in other software.

This is with the Xine backend although that doesn't seem to matter. Sound
devices: Intel ICH, Creative XFi, Audigy SE (Gets two entries). I also have an
entry for ESound (ESD). The XFi driver is the latest beta but this problem
happened BEFORE installing that driver anyway.

I do have a bluetooth dongle which appears to not do anything and there are no
audio devices provided by it.
