What Happened?

I can't record with or use my headset microphone. When I click on it in the Input section of the sound settings, the UI shows the change but the input is still stuck on the previous input device (internal mic or webcam mic).

Steps to Reproduce

1. Connect a headset.
2. Try to record something
3. Change sound input to the headset

Had to record a second demonstration of a host of other issues with the input selector. Sometimes it also switches back to a previous device and it doesn't even sync with the quick dropdown menu in wingpanel.
