The internal speakers cutting off while docked seems to be a bug; I had the same issue and was able to work around it by following this comment.
For music, I have FreeTube and Tidal installed as non-steam games. I'd prefer if I could hit the media control shortcuts on my keyboard and control Tidal while I'm in a game, for example, but I haven't found a way to do that. The closest I've gotten is by installing Decky Loader and the Music Control plugin.
Cool, you fixed my issues!
The audio output still doesn't default to the deck speakers, but after following your hint it is now at least easy to select it while in gaming mode.
I installed the decky loader, and as non-steam game Audiotube. It seems to work, doesn't matter very much to me if keyboard shortcuts like next track don't function, I usually listen to full albums or dj mixes of 1 or 2 hours.
