My 2 cents worth is this is a common hardware problem where newer Laptops have GPU HDMI sound turned off as a default. I think a grub kernel boot parameter could be set to force `setpci` to be run at appropriate memory location. Therefore the Linux Kernel team could be responsible for the bug

Indeed under this free roaming philosophy even if another WiFi node is found it should not be connected to unless the signal strength is hire. Then and only then when connected a message should be sent. Sending a message on success is infinitely preferable to a message of failure to a connection
