Bug Description
My output device keeps switching from "built in analog stereo audio" (my headphones), to HDMI output 2 (one of my monitors), which has no sound. I have to keep switching it back through pavucontrol.
I read through a similar issue, but it was reported as fixed by my version. I wonder if there was a regression.

I'm reading the module- switch- on-connect blacklist will resolve the issue, but to get pulseaudio 14 I will either need to update to ubuntu 22.04 or manage to install it on ubuntu 20.04
