Not sure if this will help or not, I'm slowly working on building an old
notebook into a movie (TV) player and need to switch the sound from notebook
to HDMI out (when the HDMI cable gets plugged in). Someone in MX land needed
the same and shared their script:

Ref:
pacmd - Reconfigure a PulseAudio sound server during runtime
I activate sound on my ati card to hdmi for all
outputs (mplayer, vlc,
FF, etc) using pasystray. Just make sure you're choosing the correct hdmi
output. Some ATI have more than one.
Also examine your settings in Pavucontrol carefully. Make sure digital
output stuff isn't on (see attached images). Note how some are labeled
and unplugged.
I don't understand this "make sure digital output 'stuff' isn't
on". I
don't expect to use any kind of analog audio "stuff" when I have an HDMI
cable, which is all digital AFAIK, carrying sound to display speakers.
