May not be relevant, but I've noticed on a new install, the default sound device is always the device I have nothing connected to. I always have to run the sound control center app and change the default to HDMI audio (which I can hear).
Consider yourself lucky that you have to do it only on a new install. My default audio device is broken after every reboot, and I have to reset it every time.
Everyone tries to convince me that the default audio device gets saved/memorized. I remain stubbornly unconvinced.
