Disable HDMI Audio

Hey guys, I'm having issues with audio stuttering and crackling on HDMI to my TV. It isn't the tv, as it does it when connected to a different TV and monitor through HDMI. I also have a DP to HDMI adapter, which did improve the issue but ultimately did not resolve it.

As I have been unable to resolve this issue, I have resorted to a Bluetooth connection to my sound system as it does not have any issues.

However, as I am still connected to my TV through HDMI, the sound defaults to HDMI every time I turn on the machine, and I have to manually connect to my sound system as well. Is there a way I can permanently disable HDMI audio and have it connect automatically to my sound system?

I'm running Bazzite HTPC
Ryzen 5 5600
RX 6600
Asrock B550 Phantom Gaming-ITX/ax
