*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 1702794 ***
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1702794
The fix only exists in Ubuntu 17.10 right now. Since it's a "feature"
more than a bugfix (according to PulseAudio developers) it might not get
backported to 16.04 at all.
If you are committed though, and have some basic Unix skills, then you
can apply the fix from bug 1702794 on your own system. Just edit a
config file.

Title:
Sound does not automatically play on new audio device
Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
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.
