Well, until the recent KDE upgrade, it worked. I just had a easy way to do it. So I know the hardware is capable of it. I just need to figure out the software issue. Since it doesn't see it now, I need to figure out why it isn't being seen and fix it. I may just need to configure something. Having it done in pipewire tho sure was handy. I hope that feature isn't gone for some reason. As it is, I have to manually tell Smplayer to send the audio to the HDMI port in Preferences. It works but I have to disable that to have sound on my main speakers. Thing is, on rare occasion I want to play a video on the TV with mpv. Doing it with pipewire made even it easy to switch. I just click on it, select for it to go to HDMI, done. The next time I play something with mpv, it goes back to the default. Really nifty. Given the recent upgrade, I may just try logging out and back in. Maybe it just didn't pick it up last time. It's not likely but possible. One can hope. :-D Neighbor is sick. Gotta go mow about 4 acres of grass. Poor thing. He has issues. :/ It's already 90F. Dale :-) :-)
