Still, I thought I'd mention it as this might be a good option for folks that switch between multiple output sources (e.g. However, it was annoying if I rebooted that I would again have to select it and so I decided to look for a more permanent fix. This worked 100% of the time for me where selecting in pavucontrol often did not. then before I start gaming, right-click its systray icon and select the desired audio output.

I had previously been using a single-session workaround (as in I had to do this once each time I logged in to linux on the PC). Was for sure getting this issue with Witcher 2 (Proton version rather than native one), Darksiders (using Proton-GE), and Okami HD (using Proton 5).

If not, so you can copy & paste this, save and reboot.
