Public bug reported:
According to this page:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Sound#Primary_sound_output, "if you manually
choose an output device in the “Sound” settings panel or a similar
utility, that choice should be followed". Well, despite me having
explicitly selected the headset as the output device, on every reboot it
falls back to the HDMI device. The headset is always plugged in.
I believe this is a regression. On Ubuntu 19.04 and previous versions,
it respected my preferences about the sound device.
It is reproducible on both Xorg and Wayland sessions.
