I'm running LMDE 2 Betsy Cinnamon on a Mac Mini (late 2012). Every time I restart, the sound output always changes back to HDMI from analog. I have to go to the GUI Menu > Preferences > Sound to change the selected "HDMI / Displayport" to "Analog Output".
When I list the sinks available, right after booting, using the command "pacmd list-sinks" at the command line, reports "1 sink(s) available" - "<alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1b.0.hdmi-stereo-extra2>". Only after I go into the GUI Menu > Preferences > Sound to manually select "Analog Output", then the command line "pacmd list sinks" reports "2 sink(s) available." - both the original "<alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1b.0.hdmi-stereo-extra2>" and also "<alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1b.0.analog-stereo>". So, a boot script like "pacmd set-default-sink 1" doesn't work, since sink 1 (analog-stereo) is not available until I select it in the GUI!
Does anyone know how I can make "Analog Output" stick as default on reboots?
