(I'm using Zorin 16.2 Lite)
Hello. I've got a USB DAC, for headphone audio, and whenever it gets unplugged, or the computer is slept/restarted, or sometimes if just no audio plays for a while, Zorin seems to forget about it. To correct this, I need to go into sound settings and direct sound to it.
The online research I've done reveals that this is a common weakness with Linux, and fixing it may not be possible without digging into the audio systems, adding scripts, etc. But I thought I'd ask here anyway, since Zorin is what I've got.
Also maybe relevant: I've replaced PulseAudio with Pipewire, so that I can use EasyEffects. I might be willing to revert to PulseAudio if it holds a solution to this problem.
