Comment 1 for bug 44101

I have a similar problem with up to date Dapper. I have two sound cards (snd_via82xx onboard and snd_ens1371 PCI). gnome-sound-properties shows both cards, and let's me select both. However it does not activate the selection, and if I run it again, it's back to the first card. Example

1) run gnome-sound-properties

The first sound card is selected (which one this seems to shuffle around when booting)

2) Select the second card

3) Close gnome-sound-properties

Sound still plays out of the first sound card

4) run gnome-properties again

The first card is shown as selected
