Bug Description
When testing the Ubuntu 22.10 (kinetic) Desktop for Raspberry Pi on a Raspberry Pi 4, the new pipewire stack selects the "Analogue Output - Built-in Audio" by default when the system is first installed, when the HDMI output probably ought to be selected by default (the analogue output is notably lower quality due to the low resolution DAC used, and tends to only be used when there is no alternative, e.g. on DPI/DSI displays with no audio channel).
This is a low priority since the default is easily changed in the gnome control center, and the new selection persists across boots (in contrast to the same issue in the older pulseaudio stack; LP: #1877194). However, it is a minor annoyance that a non-technical user may struggle to figure out initially (it also means the first-time setup sound isn't audible on first boot).
