Sound works with HDMI-1 but now with HDMI-2 again

English Hardware
1

I had this problem before Sound works with HDMI1 but not HDMI2 But the fix is not working this time. After reboot sound stopped working on the LG-TV connected to HDMI-2.

The output of aplay -l shows HDMI-1 as HDMI 0, etc. Sound works on * device 3: HDMI 0 [ARZOPA]* when HDMI 1 is selected as the Built-in Audio device on the Configuration tab of the PulseAudio Volume Control: Adjust volume levels and select audio devices widget.

You could try installing pipewire and pipewire-pulseaudio. This will remove the pulseaudio package and possibly one or two or three others. Pipewire, in active development, seems to have become, or is still becoming or soon to become, depending on distro, preferred over pulseaudio, apparently no longer in active development.

Installing pipewire-pulseaudio didn’t fix the problem.

When I select Digital Stereo (HDMI 2) Output in the Audio – System Settings widget, I get the following messages in ‘/var/log/warn’:

I would check an make sure it isnt the cable. Try swapping them around or another cable if available.

Works under Windows 11.

After letting the machine sleep and waking it up, the sound began to work again. Perhaps this is related to the repeating kernel: [ 18.616904][ T1640] PM: hibernation: the secret key is invalid in ‘/var/log/warn’ which happened every time I rebooted while the problem persisted.

The reboot I did which seems to have caused the problem was from the CLI of a konsole window under Plasma.
