DP monitor sound

Hello all,
thank you for manjaro!

I have three monitors - all with speakers - connected to an nVidia graphics card via display port. Now there is the following situation in gnome settings:

  • monitor 1 always has sound
  • monitor 2 and 3 only have sound when I power off the other monitor, respectively

Please let me know how to fix this!

Best regards
Gerrit

Can you switch output between monitor 2 and 3 in the audio settings?

… It will help if you provide a bit of system info: inxi -zv8 (use the </> button to format it so it appears in a scrollable box).

Then we’ll know e.g. if you are using PulseAudio or Pipewire etc. .

Same probably for output of pactl list sinks … may help. (Disclaimer: I’m no expert on audio stuff like this, though there are some very knowledgeable members here in this regard).

Thanks!

For this, it looks like you have one monitor actually running on an analogue source and the other(s) running on HDMI audio source, but I could be mistaken here.

My suspicion is that the HDMI audio has only one possible (stereo) audio output channel. Not sure if Jack or Wireplumber could fix that? A bit like my old Dell machine having only 2 “pipes” for graphics? Although I wouldn’t think that to be the case with a decent graphics card? :thinking:

It looks like the primary monitor is the one using the analogue source.

Hopefully someone who knows more about this than I do will see this!

All three monitors are connected via DP. The silent one is new and has DP mini.
I have three audio devices for HDMI/Display Port output in gnome settings, one of them not working properly…

It could be a hardware limitation (I hope not); I guess something to try would be to spin up a Live session of one of the other DEs (Plasma or Xfce)? See if the results are the same there. Particularly Plasma, as I’d be in a better position to show where the settings are.

Will do…
