[Bug 769274] Re: Phonon default capture device preferences are not saved

[Vilian Atmadzhov]

I found a workaround of the problem that persists even after reboot.

I installed pavucontrol and manually set Skype (and any other desired
application) to use my USB microphone, instead of the Internal Device.
Now I can finally start enjoying KDE...

The original bug still exists. Any changes in the Phonon Module are not
saved. This is also tested on a fresh Kubuntu 11.04 (NOT beta) with all
updates.

If it wasn't for the workaround above, I would have gone back to GNOME.

  I own a Logitech Pro 9000 Webcam with a built-in microphone.
  
  The bug: The Audio Capture Preferences in "Phonon - KDE Control Module"
  are not saved.
  
- How to recreate the bug: 
+ How to recreate the bug:
  Change the order of the capture devices and click Apply/OK. Upon reopening Phonon, the device order is the old one and not the changed one.
  
  I'm trying to set "QuickCam Pro 9000 Analog Mono" as my first capture
  device, but after applying the settings and reopening Phonon Control
  Module, the "Internal Audio Analog Stereo" device is first.
  
  Whatever changes I make in the device order preferences, they are not
  saved.
