Added: after long suspend time (8 hours), it again changed sound chanel from HDMI to S/PDIF.
Added: i make it default by manual by add this line to /etc/pulse/default.pa
set-default-sink output alsa_card.pci-0000_01_00.1

Research direction

Start by tracing how the sound plug selects and restores the default output across reboot and suspend, using the reported HDMI and S/PDIF setup as the reproduction case. Compare the plug's behavior with the manual /etc/pulse/default.pa setting and verify that the selected channel remains HDMI after reboot and after a long suspend.
