There are none so blind as those who will not see. The most deluded people are those who choose to ignore what they already know.

And it does not remember the root credential (name: root) and the selected GUI, unluckily this time by default you have wayland.
Can it be fixed?
It's not broken, Wayland doesn't allow a root user by design.

Here's a thought: perhaps the developers know better than you...
Is not wayland is all gnome that by default don' t allow root to log in.
I had to edit the /etc/pam.d/gdm-password file.
Others GUI allows root by default.

On stretch wayland was not the default option.
I can' t use yad on wayland and it does not have the restart option.

After changing the default alsa output/input do I need to reboot?
It seems that there is no app to do that, you have to manually change /etc/asound.conf or the user-specific ~/.asoundrc.

I tried qjackctl, can I use it to set the default output/input? Not sure how it is suppose to help me.

Can one of them provide a way to adjust the volume of the apps that are in use? Like pavucontrol.

Edit: the alternative is pipewire: https://wiki.debian.org/PipeWire#Using_ ... ACK.2FALSA.

I am using and it's working fine, I use pasystray and pavucontrol (but no PA).

In "/usr/lib/systemd/user" I had to remove "ConditionUser=!root" from "pipewire.socket" and "pipewire.service".
Same for "pipewire-pulse.service" and "pipewire-pulse.socket" in "etc/xdg/systemd/user".
