Referring to the Ask-Ubuntu link here, I am hoping to use the following CL term to make an input the default input using pactl set-default-sink. Despite what I believe is proper syntax, I continue to get Failure: No such entity.

So for example if I run

pactl list short sources
1   alsa_output.pci-0000_09_00.1.hdmi-stereo-extra1.monitor module-alsa-card.c  s16le 2ch 44100Hz   SUSPENDED
2   alsa_output.pci-0000_0b_00.4.iec958-stereo.monitor  module-alsa-card.c  s16le 2ch 44100Hz   SUSPENDED
3   alsa_input.pci-0000_0b_00.4.analog-stereo   module-alsa-card.c  s16le 2ch 44100Hz   SUSPENDED
23  alsa_input.usb-JOUNIVO_JV601_JOUNIVO_JV601_20180508-00.analog-stereo    module-alsa-card.c  s16le 2ch 44100Hz   RUNNING
24  alsa_input.usb-HDA_Webcam_USB_HDA_Webcam_USB_HDA_Webcam_USB-02.iec958-stereo    module-alsa-card.c  s16le 2ch 44100Hz   RUNN

And then:

pactl set-default-sink 'alsa_input.usb-JOUNIVO_JV601_JOUNIVO_JV601_20180508-00.analog-stereo'
Failure: No such entity

Any advice on what I may be doing wrong would be highly appreciated.

[The following commands also yield No such entity]

pactl set-default-sink alsa_input.usb-JOUNIVO_JV601_JOUNIVO_JV601_20180508-00.analog-stereo

pactl set-default-sink "alsa_input.usb-JOUNIVO_JV601_JOUNIVO_JV601_20180508-00.analog-stereo

I think the command you are looking for is

pactl set-default-source alsa_input.usb-JOUNIVO_JV601_JOUNIVO_JV601_20180508-00.analog-stereo

I found the command with man pactl
