How to set up Wireplumber to default to 5.1 Surround Sound?
Been struggling with this for about half a day. Trying to get 5.1 Surround Sound to survive a reboot. So I don't need to swtich to desktop on every boot to go from stereo to 5.1

This should be what I need but would need to migrate the format as it mentions and struggling with that.

Solution
I got it working..... Basically what we were trying to do earlier. We just were not doing it correctly.
You don't need to use sudo for any of this.
You are looking for the name and output you want to use. Change yours to whatever you need them to be. I will just list what I need to use.
Name: alsa_card.pci-0000_09_00.1
output:hdmi-surround-extra3
On boot it will wait 30 seconds and switch the audio sink.
