Created attachment 1671649 [details] dmesg Description of problem: Changing the sound output device through Gnome Control Center has no effect. Audio is always redirected to the laptop's speakers (e.g. left/right sound test or applications that redirect to the systems's default sink). Other applications that select the audio device directly (e.g. Zoom) are able to use the additional devices. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): alsa-lib-1.2.2-1.fc32.x86_64 alsa-plugins-pulseaudio-1.2.2-1.fc32.x86_64 alsa-ucm-1.2.2-1.fc32.noarch alsa-utils-1.2.2-1.fc32.x86_64 gnome-control-center-3.36.0-2.fc32.x86_64 gnome-control-center-filesystem-3.36.0-2.fc32.noarch pulseaudio-13.99.1-1.fc32.x86_64 pulseaudio-libs-13.99.1-1.fc32.x86_64 pulseaudio-libs-glib2-13.99.1-1.fc32.x86_64 pulseaudio-module-bluetooth-13.99.1-1.fc32.x86_64 pulseaudio-module-x11-13.99.1-1.fc32.x86_64 pulseaudio-utils-13.99.1-1.fc32.x86_64 How reproducible: Since upgrading from F31 to F32 Beta, always reproducible (even after reboots). Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open Gnome Control Center 2. Navigate to Sound option 3. Select different output devices 4. Try the sound test (left/right) Actual results: Audio always goes to laptop's speakers Expected results: Audio goes to selected device Additional info: This was working fine in F31 right before upgrading to F32 Beta.

with the latest package gnome-control-center-3.36.0-3, device selection works and the sound is redirected to the proper device. What still doesn't work is the right/left test button. It continues to output to the laptop speakers regardless of the selected device.
