            Bug ID: 329858
           Summary: Audio Device settings not saved on reboot
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: kde
           Version: 4.11.3
          Platform: Kubuntu Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at kde.org

The problem: Not all HDMI monitors have digital audio and, when they do, they
tend to shut audio off, when the monitor goes to sleep, and kills any audio
playback running in background.
Therefore it's desired to use rear audio port instead of monitor audio port.
The bug-
In "audio hardware setup" is a choice between "analog stereo" so that sound
plays through rear port. Or "Digital stereo (HDMI)" so that sound plays through
monitor audio port.
And sound does play through "analog" when chosen BUT the system always reverts
back to digital HDMI on reboot requiring user to change hardware settings AGAIN
after each reboot. . . 


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set audio hardware setting to "analog".
2. Confirm analog playback is working.
3. Reboot computer.
4. Analog playback has stopped working because hardware setting reverted back
to "HDMI" and channeled audio through undesired port.
Actual Results:  
Audio playback, through rear port, stopped working.

Expected Results:  
Audio playback, through rear port, to continue working after reboot.

Dell Inspiron 600.
Kubuntu 13.10
Dell HDMI monitor.
