I can use hdmi for image output, but my settings don’t recognize hdmi as a sound output anymore, even pavucontrol doesn’t work.
This happened after the last stable update, and I have both pulseaudio and pipewire installed (except pipewire-pulse) but I don’t know if this might be related to the problem.

Packages: 1437 Shell: Zsh v: 5.8 inxi: 3.2.01After no answers in this topic, I decided to format and reinstall the whole system, then I discovered the cause of the problem:
The cause is this workaround suggested in the stable update topic
For AMD GPU users having a black screen with kernel 5.10
Due to a bug in the AMD drivers, please try the following first:
- Open a terminal or a TTY
- Open
/etc/default/grubin your favourite CLI editor (nanovi,emacs`)- Find the line:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="- Add
amdgpu.dc=0- Save
- Execute
sudo update-gruband reboot
My solution is to remove the “amdgpu.dc=0” from grub and boot using kernel 5.9, since 5.10 requires this workaround
so am i understand right. if i have no sound over hdmi, i need put that lines ( amdgpu.dc=0) on grub, and it will be fixed?
but im using nvidia gpu.
No
In my specific case, there’s currently a bug with amdgpu and gnome, where the workaround proposed by Manjaro team is to add this line in grub config.
But in my case, this workaround break my HDMI sound output, so now I’m currently using kernel 5.9 without this workaround in order to be able to use hdmi sound.
I can’t tell what’s the problem in your case, since Nvidia drivers on linux has a whole lot of different problems, but I would suggest you to try to upgrade or downgrade your kernel and check if it works.
thanks i will try
