I tried the image of 17.10 (checked its sha256sum after download, it
matched) and tested the 17.10 live USB using "test disc for defects" and
no errors found.
I connected the HDMI cable to the TV, but I still had to manually switch
the sound from the laptop speakers to the HDMI output.
This bug appears NOT to be fixed.
Thanks again for your time and your help, it's genuinely appreciated. :)
I am happy to try other suggestions.

Title:
Sound does not automatically play on new audio device
Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
When connecting a HDMI cable or other audio device, the user must
manually click on the "sound volume" in the top-right and switch to
the newly connected device.
Example: you connect a HDMI cable to the television, but then you must
manually choose the HDMI sound option; it does not get selected
automatically.
Often times e.g. when the HDMI cable is disconnected, the user must
then manually click on the "speakers" or "line out" setting - EVEN IF
IT'S ALREADY SELECTED, it must be clicked on again for the sound to
work through the computer's speakers.
