I run it on a Lenovo X1 Carbon 8th Generation connected to dual monitors via a Lenovo dock. Both monitors are capable of outputting sound via HDMI. I use bluetooth headphones frequently with my Ubuntu 20.10 system, but I don't leave them on -- I turn them on and off as needed for Zoom calls. When I'm not on a call, however, I prefer to use my laptop's speakers for audio -- not my monitor speakers. Turning the bluetooth headphones on works fine, they connect and pulseaudio correctly identifies the new connection and switches to the headphones as the audio device. However, when I turn the headphones off, pulseaudio always selects an HDMI audio device as the sound device to use, not the internal speaker device that I was using prior to turning on the headphones. I must manually open Sound Settings and select the speaker device every time I turn my headphones off. My expectation is that the device I was using prior to connecting the headphones is remembered and switched back to by default after I disconnect my bluetooth headphones. I've tried using the pavucontrol app to disable the HDMI audio devices, but the hardware device disable settings are not granular enough to let me target the HDMI devices independently of the speaker device.
