As you most likely have two sound cards, one on-board and one with the
video card (HDMI) it may be worthwhile installing pasystray as this may
give you better control over which card you want to use, lots of
options to reset sink, add modules etc. It helped me solve sound issues
in the past when switching between on-board headphones and HDMI to the
TV so worth a try at least.
