Public bug reported: Hello my Ubuntu friends,
I can no longer play sound over my external HDMI connected TV. The image displays perfectly, but all the HDMI output devices are listed as "unplugged" I have spent a huge amount of time trying every solution that Internet searching will bring but this has changed nothing. I have tired all available video drivers, including Xorg and NVIDEA 396.26, 340.107, and 384.130. This failure is recent because in the past I could play both audio and video through the HDMI connector. The laptop is dual boot with Windows 10 and the HDMI works perfectly on that OS, although I rarely use it... I am wondering if upgrading my Xubuntu to the latest LTS could potentially solve this issue, but I fear such an update since I depend on this computer and an outage would be very hard for me... Any thoughts would be great. Thanks for making Linux great!
