This might be related to the fact that some HDMI ports are only connected to the Nvidia GPU and others only connected to Intel. That's normal, but might not be the only factor here.

For some reason dual monitor setup with external monitor via HDMI only works if I switch to Nvidia only. If I select Intel GPU or "on-demand" in Nvidia server settings HDMI out is not working at all - xrandr shows HDMI out disconnected.
