Bug Description
I changed my screen resolution from 2560x1440 to 1024x768 to test an application, and my audio sink was switched from headphone output to the speakers in my monitor for all applications playing sound.
I can repeatedly cause the resolution down-scaling to change my audio sink from "Built-in Audio Analog Stereo" to "GP104 High Definition Audio Controller Digital Stereo (HDMI 2)". As the sound can be carried through HDMI, maybe something with the resolution change is causing the device/sink to be re-detected and my system defaults to it. This does not appear to be happening when I up-scale my resolution e.g. going from 1024x768 to 2560x1440.
