I primarily use speakers connected to my monitor through displayport on my 5700XT. HDMI sound is not showing as an option today in KDE’s system settings. aplay seems to see them though

@localhost:~> aplay -l

I plugged in an old USB sound card and ran pactl

Hi
It’s a known bug and a fix has been pushed, no ETA for it’s arrival…

https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1187033

You could pick up the fixed files from Multimedia:Libs but better to wait.

Thanks, guess I’ll just use this old USB card for now.

IMHO you’ll get better sound quality with that.
