Having the same exact issue in the same timeframe; a recent update to 20.04 removed the ability to select HDMI audio devices. As it is not related to a specific package such as alsamixer or pavucontrol, I believe it to be a kernel issue. Sorry for the lack of clarity; I will attempt to install again from the original April 2020 release, and then slowly perform updates, to see if I can determine which package or kernel update created the problem.
