I still get this issue even on focal, or atleast the fix is the same. I
have a USB headset and upon reboot it always switches to the USB headset
regardless if HDMI was selected last. It's a desktop so things don't get
unplugged.

Title:
  PulseAudio automatically switches to HDMI sound output on login

Status in PulseAudio:
  Fix Released
Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in pulseaudio source package in Eoan:
  Fix Released
Status in pulseaudio source package in Focal:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  On my freshly installed eoan system I have two output devices:
  - HDMI/DisplayPort 2 - GK208 ...
  - Line Out - Family 17h ...

  When I login into the system pulseaudio always select the "wrong"
  one (HDMI) and I need to go to gnome-settings/Sound/Output Device
  and switch to "line out". This applies to every login/logout not
  just reboots.

  [Test Case]

  0. Plug in a monitor that supports HDMI audio (one that appears in
  your Settings>Sound)

  1. Log out and in again.

  Verify the default audio device in Settings is still speakers or
  headphones. Not the monitor's HDMI audio device.

  [Regression Potential]

  The behaviour is changed back to what it was before 19.10, some users
  might find it inconvenient and prefer the auto switch but the feedback
  we got shows it's unreliable and an annoying for the majority of our
  users so we will got back to default to safest behaviour.

  The fix proposed just reverts to the same code used in PulseAudio 12
  and earlier. It has also been released and verified on focal already.

  [Workaround]

  Comment out:

  load-module module-switch-on-port-available
  load-module module-switch-on-connect

  from /etc/pulse/default.pa
