Bug Description
When connecting a HDMI cable or other audio device, the user must manually click on the "sound volume" in the top-right and switch to the newly connected device.
Example: you connect a HDMI cable to the television, but then you must manually choose the HDMI sound option; it does not get selected automatically.
Often times e.g. when the HDMI cable is disconnected, the user must then manually click on the "speakers" or "line out" setting - EVEN IF IT'S ALREADY SELECTED, it must be clicked on again for the sound to work through the computer's speakers.
summary: |
- Sound does not automatically play on new audio device + Sound does not automatically switch to HDMI when connected |
