No audio on HDMI

I also managed to open indicator-sound-switcher but it does not help to switch back to speakers

your wpctl status should show something like:

How do you put the <code> in the box?

WWat-now · Dec 13, 2024

You can highlight it and use insert code </> button somewhere on the same bar as you see post reply etc. or use ``` on start and same on end of code.

How come your HDMI/DP Audio Controller is not shown? Do you have the right drivers installed? For me it is my nvidia card and I think I need to have either nouveau or proprietary installed. I have them thru dkms. what does your lspci | grep VGAshow?

igrk@obarunS6 ~ % lspci | grep VGA

the HDMI is unplugged.

WWat-now · Dec 13, 2024

Ok so when you plug HDMI in, it doesnt appear in wpctl status as HDMI/DP Audio Controller? Your TV might only register 16 bit audio have you tried this: https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/how-to-enable-hdmi-audio-output-in-wireplumber-on-fedora-41/137313 it says fedora but should work on arch/Obarun too

Iigorka67 · Dec 13, 2024

it remains the same.
But my problem now is that i get no sound on the laptop with or without plugged tv!

WWat-now · Dec 13, 2024

Alright so you can delete that file because thats a regression. What does $aplay -loutput show

Is this ¨Active Profile: output:stereo-fallback¨ right?

igorka67 Should be, but try something else to automatically manage and add your profiles. I use pavucontrol and did not need to manually create profiles. Seems like it is causing issues

Stopping pipewire, wireplumber, pipewire-pulse and rebooting i got the audio on the laptop back.
Restarting was not enough.

If i plug in the tv i can switch with indicator-sound-switcher and when i unplug it i can switch back!
The question is: why?
