Bug Description
Expected Result:
In the settings app under the sound section, the user can set to which device they want to output the sound whenever there are multiple devices available.
Example scenario on this is when a wired/bluetooth headset and HDMI output are connected simultaneously.
It would be great if the user can choose to output the sound in the internal speaker or to the headset while the phone/tablet is connected through HDMI.
It'll be better if the setting is available in the sound indicator for quick switching.
Actual Result:
When wired/bluetooth headset is connected, the sound is automatically routed to these devices.
When the phone/tablet is connected to an external display through HDMI, the audio are automatically routed as well on the TV/monitor.
Note: Both these scenarios have known bugs to audio routing.

I do not see this in the sound panel design other than an implicit reference to the idea.
