Public bug reported: When connecting a HDMI output the Audio Output won't switch automatically to the HDMI output from the Built in Speakers, it is required to enter the Settings and switch manually. When disconnecting the HDMI output the audio output won't come back to the built in Speakers as it was previously before connecting the HDMI output.
I understand that may be intentional, however I do believe the audio auto switch output to HDMI when a cable is connected and then back to previously default output when HDMI is disconnected should be the default, if a different audio output would be required than a manually setting may be ok.
