Sound to monitor over Displayport no longer working

[alundgren]

I have an Nvidia RTX 2070 card with my monitor hooked up to a display port.

I had sound working with Leap 15.4. I updated to the latest Leap and nvidia drivers and my monitor is no longer detected as an output device in the sound settings.

Any advice on debugging this would be appreciated.

Thank you!

[alundgren]

I did a clean install. The sound worked after initially after installing the nvidia drivers, but then on reboot it is no longer detected.

Suggest you share the output of the following commands to start with

inxi -SAa

aplay -lL

Just in case the following is relevant to your situation:

Unable to configure sound card in YaST Sound and no sound thru Nvidia HDMI

Found the solution. The udev rules for NVidia card has the sound disabled. Commenting out this setting and rebooting fixed it. HDMI now appears as an option under Configure Audio Devices. Edit the udev rules for your Nvidia card $ sudo vi /lib/udev/rules.d/90-nvidia-udev-pm-G05.rules (Note: the .rules filename maybe different; look for a .rules filename containing nvidia-udev) Look for the lines: # Remove NVIDIA Audio devices, if present ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="pci", ATTR{vendor}=="…

…and note the udev files are located in the /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/ directory.

@deano_ferrari

the udev files are located in the /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/ directory

Which should never be edited directly because any change will be lost on package update. Rather, the file should be copied into /etc/udev/rules.d (keeping the same name) and this copy should be edited.

[deano_ferrari]

Yes that is the best option for sure (assuming this is the actual issue of course).

I made the same fix, using the /etc/ directory, but no luck…

The sound devices list is different, but it still doesn’t work.

The new output looks like:

The sound devices list is different, but it still doesn’t work.

So, you have tried pointing to the right sound output device via your desktop mixer, or pavucontrol?

[alundgren]

I set the output to the new and moved the volume control up and down, but the sound did not ding as I am used to and I assumed it wasn’t working.

Today, just to make sure jumped over to youtube and the audio is working. The audio does work there. Just no ding on the volume control. So, odd, but good enough.

Thanks, and great suggestion!

Thank you.

[deano_ferrari]

Thanks for the update. Good to read that HDMI sound is working as expected now.

The output you shared earlier shows that you are using MATE right? Did you check the desktop notification settings for your DE? (Volume up/down notifications is not something I generally use with my KDE desktop.)

You could also check via PA volume control > Playback tab > System Sounds

Adjust level and mute as required.
