I want to set default audio devices for my Ubuntu 20.04.
First, why in the world would Sound not allow setting default devices?

So I tried manually. Term window.

pactl list short sinks   %% gives me a list of devices, so I use 
pactl set-default-sink 'alsa_output.usb-.......alsa-card.c'  %% no errors

The output device changes in the Sound app.
But if I do

pactl list short sources  %% which lists sources, and I select and use one:
pactl set-default-sourc 'alsa_output.usb-0b0e_Jabra_Link_370_.....stereo.monitor'

Also no errors but the input device doesn't change in the Sound app - I have to manually change it.

Any ideas what gives?
