It is not HDMI specific. I have a similar problem: every start up, output is selected on (usb) headphones, but actual audio comes out my motherboard line out. Volume control adjusts headphones, so apparently has no effect. I have to go change it to line out, then the volume control works.
Should I create yet another duplicate? Or can someone familiar suggest the right bug to follow?
