<![CDATA[Backend settings not persistent]]>I'm not the most technical person but the issue I have is that MOST times when I open Strawberry, I have to manually select my soundcard to get any sound.
I have a USB audio interface (Behringer UMC404HD) but Strawberry seems to default to sending audio through either the motherboard audio or the graphics card.
This setting doesn't seem to save - the next time I open Strawberry I have to re-select "UMC404HD 192K USB Audio".
It's not a big deal because it works perfectly once selected. But if anyone knows what I need to change (or other info I can supply?) I'd be very grateful!

However if you have PulseAudio running, you should not use ALSA at all.

I don't really understand the technical stuff but maybe this helps someone else with this issue!
