Comment 57 for bug 1834771

Same bug apparently and i have ubuntu focal kernel. In my case the next command this fix partially my problem, because my audio is set to null in sound, but i can listen it:
pacmd set-card-profile 0 output:hdmi-stereo

Note i have this problem for a long time, but with ubuntu focal is worse than ever. I can not find a good permanent solution.

Only in pavucontrol i can see my HDMI Audio and this is what i can see when i can lisent something:

Card: RS880 HDMI Audio [Radeon HD 4200 Series]
