KDE - No monitor sound, working the previous day.

I have an asus monitor GP106 high definition audio controller HDMI, sound blaster z audio card, and builtin audio card. I’v had no problems for a long time. I have pulse volume audio control installed. But this boot, I can see audio out on firefox and vlc media player. But nothing on the configuration hdmi audio.

The nvidia drivers are installed.

need help…

Try “pasystray” utility.

I installed it. It still has no effect. No sound on HDMI.

This is all the command info I was able to find.

The problem was fixed by the last few updates. Thanks to those who fixed the problem.

If again you want to provide audio info, use alsa-info.sh, which should be in $PATH.
