This is how I've got audio switching AND volume control automagically to the last connected device (Bluetooth, HDMI, USB)
(This was reported in january 2017 to this forum but still didn't make it to MX-18)

*Edit pulseaudio default settings.

On a Terminal you could type:

Code: Select all

sudo featherpad /etc/pulse/default.pa 
*Add this two lines at the end of the /etc/pulse/default.pa file:

Code: Select all

###Switch audio automatically to the device just added (Bluetooth, HDMI, USB)
load-module module-switch-on-connect
*Add Pulseaudio Plugin to the xfce Panel

right-click on empty part of the panel, Add New Items...,
select PulseAudio Plugin, click Add, Close.

*Switch Pulseaudiostart(with volumeicon) for Pulseaudio Sound System

open Session and Startup (from mx menu)
select the Application Autostart tab
deselect (untick) Pulseaudiostart (starts volumeicon aft....
select (tick) PulseAudio Sound System (Start the PulseAudio So....
Close.

Enjoy!
