Oh, forgot to mention, I enabled that option in KDE System Settings under Sound. For me, it was at the top. Could vary tho. Also, the monitor I bought dropped in price. I ordered a second one. Should be here before to long. My current 27" monitor will become the monitor that moves from whatever system I need to use. I plan to check the power supply again in the LG but may retire it, just use it on that rare occasion I need something simple but don't rely on it. Dale :-) :-)
