[81YM, ATI R6xx HDMI, Digital Out, HDMI] Playback problem

[Ed Smyth]

When using 2 external monitors via a dual HDMI adapter plugged on the usb-c port, when i go to play sound at all, 1 of the external monitors is always selected as the default output device when this should still be the laptop internal speakers. Annoying as hell to have to go into the settings everytime i switch the laptop on and there is no sound on sound output. It would be great if you could fix it so it leaves its always "laptop internal speakers" as default.
