Until a few hours ago I had assumed that when one switches a video input, the accompanying audio goes along. However, I can find no mention of that in anyone's specs. That leads me to believe that everyone is operating the general assumption that they all either do, or don't.
Which is it?

With modern AVRs, one uses the setup menu to associate a particular video source and a particular audio source with a specific input label, e.g., "DVD player." The sources, audio and video, can usually be associated with more than one label. So, I have my cable STB video and cable STB audio associated with the input label: CABLE/SAT. I also have my cable STB video and my SACD/DVD-A player audio associated with the input label AUX-1. With this arrangement, I can watch/listen to cable TV or I can watch football and listen to music!
So, yes, A and V switch together but you can determine the combinations in use. Is that sufficiently confusing?

...whether any particular receiver or switcher will do this. Is there maybe a coded designation for such performance?

or have a "knowledgeable" salesperson demonstrate it with particular models. I doubt I could figure it from a "spec sheet".

With the complexity of these things, there's no way to get all the operational issues in a spec sheet. Thank goodness that we can get manuals from the internet.

Most A/V receivers have an OSD or menu of some sort that allows you to tie an audio input (analog or digital, or both) to a particular video input. If you do this, when you switch video inputs, you switch audio inputs.
