Setup:
Lenovo Gen3 X1 Carbon w/ Intel GPU
Audio redirected via HDMI to a samsung TV
Both Wayland and Xorg sessions
I manually set the audio output to the HDMI output in GNOME control center. I thought it would remember my setting like it does for monitor layout, but that does not seem to happen. It sounds like is supposed to be handled by PulseAudio?
Likewise, when I remove the HDMI device, I would expect audio to be redirected back to my laptop speakers.
Is it correct that this should be handled by PulseAudio and not by something like gnome-settings- daemon/ control- center?
