Alsa selects my microphone as default sound card

My microphone is a usb microphone and whenever it is plugged in, alsa decides that it is a great choice for a playback device.  I can only play sound on programs that can select the sound card.  I can't fix it with setting sound card to 1 in the config or whatever because I don't always have the mic plugged in.  Is there a way to set the default device by name, or something like that?

Re: Alsa selects my microphone as default sound card

post lspci -k  ,  lsusb , lsusb -t and aplay --list-devices  --list-pcms without microphone plugged in please.

Then plugin the micropohone and post those outputs if they're different then without mic.

Re: Alsa selects my microphone as default sound card

Well after this reboot, it seems to be working fine.  I didn't change anything, and I'd say this problem happens some of the time after I boot to windows and then back to linux.  Maybe windows does something?

But here is the output of the commands without the mic plugged in.

Re: Alsa selects my microphone as default sound card

In the second output set aplay output appears identical to the first, which makes me wonder.
There's no sign of the mic or a change of default device in aplay output.

Maybe something else is managing sound devices, post pacman -Qs pulse

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.
