To get the right output, you need to go into the pavucontrol Configuration
tab and select the right profile (Digital Stereo..., which is your HDMI, or
Analog Stereo Duplex, which is your m/b sound).  There may be several of
each, so I go for the top-most one in each category.

My issue with sound is a little trickier - it sounds like multiple inputs
all colliding with each other and hanging, but I haven't found any control
to fix it yet....
