My desktop has a built-in speaker inside the tower, and it's connected to my monitor via HDMI. It's really annoying that the system defaults the speaker to the built-in one and I have to manually change the Sound settings. Is there any way to force HDMI as default device or just disable the built-in?

To set default for pulseaudio playback

Use command:

pactl list sinks | grep Name

to get Pulseaudio names of playback sinks

Use the name of your HDMI sink in this command to set it as default:

pacmd set-default-sink <Name>

To check Pulseaudio default sink setting:

cat ~/.config/pulse/*default-sink
